High in Vitamin C

A single kiwi provides the recommended daily intake of vitamin C

Kiwis have 92.17 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams, i.e. nearly twice as much as oranges. "Consuming a single piece provides 116% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, so a single kiwi gives you 100% of the vitamin C you need. In addition, kiwi contains remarkable amounts of vitamin K, potassium, folic acid, and fiber," stated Ana Molina Jimenez, a nutritionist dietician at AM Nutricion Integral.

Due to its high level of vitamin C, this fruit is a fantastic food to keep the immune system strong, especially for people who come out of an operation or are convalescing, Molina stressed.

It slows down ageing
Kiwifruit vitamin C is also involved in healing processes and, together with its antioxidants, and helps to slow down the skin's aging process, both internally and externally.

In addition, the kiwi's moderate fiber content is beneficial to intestinal transit and helps avoid constipation, while the fruit's potassium content helps athletes have a quick recovery.

According to Molina, 100 grams of kiwi - i.e. a medium-sized kiwi - provide half the recommended daily amount of vitamin K, which is necessary to activate blood clotting or maintaining healthy and strong bones.
