Every other month, Mom visits my Dad in Davao that's in the south. Dad works in a logistics company and one of their clients is Zespri of New Zealand, an exporter of kiwi to different parts of the world. Since we've first encountered the fruit, we were skeptical what it taste like or how it is eaten. We thought it's the puny flightless bird. The first one was not good at all. The next was splendid. I've realized, out from my ignorance, that there are two types of kiwi, the golden and green variety. The first kiwi I ate was the golden variety and it has this over-ripe taste that made me promise to give them away. The green ones were great. It taste like mango and pineapple. The seeds leave an after taste that makes it even more tasty and luscious. My friends even wanted more! Some of them went to the supermarket and looked for them. They have found a few but unfortunately it costs 30-45 bucks per fruit. I just told them to wait whenever Mom's back from Davao.Vitamin C...
It has more vitamin C than the orange.
Lutein . . .
This phytochemical is receiving a great deal of recent attention for its effectiveness in reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, and may help prevent cataracts and macular degeneration - a leading cause of blindness. This carotenoid functions as an antioxidant, and next to yellow corn, a single serving of kiwifruit (2 medium kiwifruit) is the richest source of lutein in the vegetable world
Fiber . . .
Soluble fiber protects against heart disease and diabetes, while insoluble fiber reduces the risk of some cancers, constipation, and diverticulitis. A single serving of kiwifruit contains both types of fiber!
Copper for Kids . . .
California Kiwifruit is high in Copper, vital for infant growth, bone strength, brain development, and building immunity. Copper is a mineral involved in making red blood cells and developing a strong immune system.
More Potassium than Bananas . . .
Potassium from fruits and vegetables helps the heart work more efficiently, and is significantly in controlling blood pressure - the "silent killer". Potassium controls heart activity and maintains fluid balance. A single serving of kiwifruit outranks bananas as the top low-sodium, high-potassium fruit
Not to Mention . . .
Folate, Magnesium, and Vitamin E are all well represented in kiwifruit, offering health benefits that range from bone formation to reduced risks of heart disease. Plus kiwifruit contains no saturated fat or cholesterol.
A single serving containing Folate, helps protect against congenital defects, cancer and heart disease, and helps prevent 70% of neural tube diseases in babies each year. A perfect recommendation to women of reproductive age.
Magnesium found in a serving of kiwifruit is a vital mineral, whose intake often falls short in the American diet, but is important for bone formation, heart rhythm regulation, muscle relaxation and nerve function.
The Vitamin E found in a serving of kiwifruit may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and exercise-induced oxidative damage. Unlike most sources of Vitamin E, kiwifruit is a low-fat food source of vitamin E (typically found in high-fat foods like oils and nuts).
