Food of the Week: Kiwifruit

One of my absolute favorite fruits is Kiwifruit. And as it turns out they are one of the most nutritious fruits as well! In fact, Kiwi is, ounce for ounce, the most nutrient dense fruit on the planet.

• Kiwi contains twice as much Vitamin C as an orange, which is very beneficial to alleviate symptoms of asthma
  
• Two medium sized Kiwifruit contains 5 grams of fiber
• They have more potassium than a banana

Perhaps best of all is Kiwi is a hearth healthy food. Kiwi acts as a blood thinner (Dave!) without any of the side effects of blood thinning medicine or aspirin.

All that and they are wicked tasty! And cheap! Oh, and they are also one of the foods least contaminated with pesticides!

I have used them in my juicer and have found they don't juice very well. But, the skin is edible, so no need to cut them up, just eat as is!
