Strawberries and Cream is a classic, simple dessert consisting of fresh strawberries served with a dollop of whipped or pouring cream. It is a quintessential British summer treat, famously associated with the Wimbledon tennis championships.
This dish is relatively high in fat and natural sugars (carbs) from the cream and fruit, with minimal protein. A typical serving provides a good amount of Vitamin C and calcium, and generally ranges from 150 to 250 calories.
Its cultural significance in the UK is so strong that Wimbledon consumes about 28,000 kg of strawberries each tournament. Nutritionally, the fat in the cream helps the body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants found in the strawberries.
