Strawberry (Cooked) - How Many Calories?

Calculating a portion of cooked strawberries

The plain cooked-strawberry reference provides approximately 51 kcal, 8.65 g carbohydrate and 3.21 g fibre per 150 g. A 100 g amount provides 34 kcal and a smaller 75 g amount 26 kcal. Sweetened jam and fruit canned in syrup need different nutrition panels.

Fruit before cooking versus the finished amount

As strawberries soften and release juice, their volume and appearance change. Longer cooking evaporates some water; adding water or draining released juice also changes the finished weight. Do not assume that 150 g weighed raw will still weigh 150 g after cooking. When using a cooked-food panel, weigh the finished amount you eat.

With yogurt, oats or a dessert

Juice released by thawed frozen strawberries also changes a sauce’s consistency; follow the package preparation instructions. Softened fruit can be stirred into yogurt or spooned over oats. Include sugar, honey or starch if you add them. Adding 10 g white sugar to 100 g cooked strawberries gives 110 g mixture and approximately 73 kcal. Crushing and heating plain strawberries is a different preparation from making concentrated jam or a set jelly. Strained juice should not be assigned the whole fruit’s fibre value.

The reference lists 39.46 mg vitamin C per 100 g. Subtracting that figure from raw strawberries in another dataset cannot establish an exact cooking loss: cooking time, temperature and water use have not been controlled in that comparison.

Source note: Figures use Diyetkolik’s 150 g/51 kcal cooked-strawberry entry. Exact cooking time, retained liquid and yield are unspecified. Total sugars, saturated fat in a reliable unit and vitamin A in RAE are unknown; they were not borrowed from raw or frozen fruit.
