Studies have shown that one of the ways to be healthy is to eat a certain amount of fruits daily. It doesn't always have to be an apple, banana or an orange since there are a large variety of these in the supermarket that changes depending on the season.
An interesting fruit from the China that is now planted and harvested in the United States is the Kiwi. These are oval in shape about the size of a hen's egg and have to be peeled before it can be eaten.
Liquid Vitamin A
When it is opened, people will notice that it is either bright green or golden in color with seeds inside. It may look different but the taste can be compared to a banana, pineapple or a strawberry.
Not only are these fruits delicious but it also provides a good amount of vitamins c that the body needs. The Kiwi has been known to have high concentrations of vitamin C. One piece that comes from a tree contains 74 mgs while those that are bought in the supermarket and are stored in a cooler will only have 57 mgs.
Why the reduction in the number of mgs of Vitamin C? This is because some of it is lost when these are harvested, washed and refrigerated until this is bought by a customer.
The Kiwi is also known to have amounts of Vitamin A and E. Although scientists have not been able to pinpoint yet it's properties, those who eat the fruit are able to get antioxidants, which keeps the skin smooth and healthy.
In fact, the more Kiwis that a person eats, the greater the chances of avoiding respiratory related problems such as colds, cough and shortness of breath.
Kiwi is also rich in fiber. Studies show that is can lower the level of cholesterol thus reducing the likelihood of heart disease or even a stroke. When rated among a variety of fruits such as mango, strawberry and watermelon, it ranked number one in terms of minerals such as copper, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium.
This fruit is also used tenderizing meat. People may not notice this when this is eaten and some call it the secret ingredient that makes the meal tastes so good in a barbecue.
Not everyone though can eat kiwi. This is because it also contains similar protein dissolving enzyme that is found in papayas or pineapples. This means it can't also be served with milk like how banana is placed with frosted flakes and milk.
In order to get the richness of its vitamins, people are advised to cut it open and eat like a mango or a pineapple. If eating the hairy skin is not to the person's liking, this can be scooped using a spoon then placed into the mouth.
Kiwis are ideal when these are placed in salads or used as a fruit tart. This means it can be served well before the main course or the last thing people will have as dessert, which everyone will have before going home after a hearty meal.
Indeed, Kiwi is rich in vitamins A, C and E as well other things that are needed for the body. One can go to the supermarket and buy a few to taste and experience the difference.
