Plant Profile: Kiwis

Kiwis are an amazing fruit with a huge variety of health benefits! Did you know that kiwis contain nearly twice the amount of vitamin C as oranges? For most people, eating two or three kiwis a day will be sufficient to gain all the nutritional benefits that they offer.

Due to their fibrous nature, kiwis are excellent at aiding digestion. Also, they contain a proteolytic enzyme called actinidin which can help break down protein in the body. For more health benefits from kiwi fruit, check out this great website here!

In order to gain all these benefits, it is important that you eat your kiwis in their raw state! Cooking kiwis, like any fruit all vegetable, can reduce its nutritional benefit. We suggest that you blend your kiwis in a smoothie, have them chopped up with your breakfast, or simply eat them as a healthy and delicious snack!
