Strawberries a great source of vitamins, minerals and plant compounds — some of which have powerful health benefits. They're also low GI which means they should not cause any spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels. Oh, and did we mention they're low FODMAP at any serve?!
If that wasn't enough reason to eat more strawberries, you have to try these scones. You won't be disappointed! Serves 4.
