Strawberries have two potential shortcomings


Allergic reactions due to their salicyclic acid content. This usually manifests itself as itching and skin rash. Individuals who are allergic to aspirin tend to be allergic to strawberries as well, and vice versa.


Kidney Stones: Individuals with a tendency to form oxalic kidney stones should avoid eating large quantities of strawberries. This is because of their oxalic acid content, which when eliminated through the urine forms calcium oxalate, an insoluble substance that forms stones. However, there are investigators believing that moderate strawberry consumption poses no risk to those with kidney stones.
