Health Facts
Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and also contain a natural plant chemical
(phytochemical) called ellegic acid that is believed to help protect against cancer. Bananas
contain a special type of fibre that helps stimulate the growth of “friendly” bacteria in the gut.
They are also a good source of potassium.
