Why should you choose this super food??? Well, for starters it has twice the vitamin C of Oranges! Two medium kiwi's have almost 5 g of fiber, decent source of magnesium, low-sodium and are a high-potassium food (great after a run or workout).
Get this, the Journal of Medicinal Food did a study. They found that kiwi had the ability to reduce oxidative stress (damage from free radicals) in human plasma. Another study in Carcinogenesis confirmed kiwi's ability to protect against cellular damage AND repair cellular damage that had already occurred (just from adding kiwi into a normal diet)! Pretty cool!
Plus, they are DELICIOUS!
Oh, and according to The Environmental Working Group, Kiwifruit is considered one of the least contaminated with pesticides. Good to know!
