What's green and fuzzy and PACKED with nutrients?


The next time you’re in the produce isle – grab a few kiwifruit! 

Those fuzzy little orbs are packed with nutrients. One kiwifruit has more vitamin C than an orange and about the same amount of potassium as a small banana. There’s vitamins E and K in there - and then there’s the fiber – as much as a cup of cooked oatmeal.

Kiwifruit can be tricky to peel – but you can skip that step. That fuzzy skin is edible too. If you leave it on, you’ll be getting even more fiber and some polyphenols too. Just be sure to buy organically grown kiwifruit if you plan on eating the fuzz. If you want just the flesh, cut the kiwifruit in half and scoop it out with a spoon.
