Nutrition research being funded by California Giant and other members of the strawberry industry through the California Strawberry Commission is revealing that one serving a day of 8 medium strawberries may help to maintain a healthy heart, protect the body from cancer and improve the memory/cognitive function. Folate protects DNA in the body. If DNA is damaged, cancer can occur. Research shows that the Folate provided by strawberries may play a part in preventing certain types of cancer.

California Giant has continually been an avid supporter of the American Cancer Society since 1972. Volunteers nationwide like California Giant work tirelessly to raise funds each year for cancer research, education and ultimately prevention.
