Kiwifruit, the New SuperFood

Dr. Steven Pratt may have only recently added it to the elite list of SuperFoods in his trendsetting new book, SuperFoods Healthstyle, but kiwifruit has always been tops in nutrition. It’s a nutritional powerhouse and has rightly earned its new SuperFood status. But to those in the know, it's always been the SuperFruit.

A two-piece serving of kiwifruit has twice the vitamin C of an orange, as much potassium as a banana and as much fiber as a serving of bran flakes – less than 100 calories. Kiwifruit is also a good source of magnesium, is sodium free and a low-fat source of vitamin E.

Super Nutritious

Bite for bite, kiwifruit contains more essential nutrients than 27 of the most popular fruits, as proven by a Rutgers University study, making it one of the most "nutrient dense" fruits in the world.

We Only Use Our Superpowers For Good

Three new studies imply that kiwifruit has a role in cancer prevention; it has added benefits for the heart; and it contains two phytonutrients known to help protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). All three studies reveal that regular kiwifruit consumption can help you live a longer, healthier life. And it tastes great too.

Kiwifruit also has a moderate to low glycemic index of 52, making it a good fit in most diabetic diet plans. And green kiwifruit also works well as a natural digestive aid.
