What it is

Strawberries and sugar is a food ingredient consisting of fresh or frozen strawberries mixed with added sugar, typically sucrose. Strawberries are a fruit, and sugar is commonly derived from sugarcane or sugar beets. The strawberries are usually washed, sliced, and then combined with sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sugar to strawberries primarily to enhance sweetness and act as a preservative, which helps extend shelf life by reducing water activity. This combination also helps maintain the fruit's texture. It is commonly found in frozen fruit products, jams, jellies, pie fillings, and various desserts.

Health notes

Strawberries are a nutritious whole food, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, providing vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Sugar (sucrose) is also GRAS by the FDA. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified). The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal, due to concerns that excessive consumption can contribute to health issues. However, strawberries themselves offer health benefits.
