Tips for consumers!
Kiwis are a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber.
Antioxidants – including vitamin C, choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin – help remove “free radicals,” which are unstable molecules that the body produces during metabolism and other processes. If too many “free radicals” are created, they can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to cell damage. This damage can lead to problems like heart disease or cancer. Antioxidants protect the body by eliminating “free radicals.”
If stored in the refrigerator, ripe kiwis can last about 4 weeks. You can put them in a bag, preferably a paper bag, with an apple or banana for a day or two to ripen.
Fruit Fact!
The kiwi fruit is named after New Zealand’s national bird, the “Kiwi.”
