Kiwifruit is a rich source of vitamin C, 1.5 times the DRI scale in the US. Its potassium content by weight is slightly less than that of a banana. It also contains vitamin E[10], and a small amount of vitamin A[10][11]. The skin is a good source of flavonoid antioxidants. The kiwifruit seed oil contains on average 62% alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.[12] Usually a medium size kiwifruit contains about 46 calories,[13] 0.3 g fats, 1 g proteins, 11 g carbohydrates, 75 mg vitamins and 2.6 g dietary fiber.

So, are they good for you? ;o) Super shot, I like how the left one is on the plane of focus whilst the right one just has a sliver... :o)

Juicy! Love Kiwis but try to get Italian ones so they haven't clocked up as many airmiles as their
Kiwi cousins.
