Strawberry Ingredients: Water

Strawberry is a widely cultivated fruit, known for its sweet flavor and red color. It grows on a low-lying herbaceous perennial plant. Strawberries are typically eaten fresh, but can also be processed into juices, jams, and other food products.

Manufacturers add strawberry flavor, color, and sometimes texture to a variety of foods. It is commonly found in desserts, dairy products, and beverages, enhancing their taste and appearance.

Strawberry is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamin C and antioxidants. No specific health concerns are associated with the consumption of strawberries in typical amounts. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated food ingredients but have not set specific limits for strawberry as a whole fruit ingredient.
