Maintaining our health through stellar nutrition is, of course, our ultimate aim—but, with temptation all around us (we’re looking at you, lunch-room candy dispenser), it isn’t always easy.
That’s why we were over-the-moon happy to discover an all-natural and super-tasty trick to satisfying our sweet tooth without compromising our healthy eating goals. Zespri Green kiwifruit (one of Mother Nature’s most nutritious fruits, available across Canada) contain a rich combo of fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals—in other words, these sweet and juicy green gems are the healthy antidote to our chocolate-covered-peanuts addiction! Here’s the breakdown of their bountiful benefits:
chock-full of vitamin c. Put away the OJ! One delicious serving (two kiwifruit) of Zespri Green kiwifruit contains more vitamin C than an orange.
plenty of potassium. Zespri Green kiwifruit are a natural source of potassium, and a single serving boasts as much potassium (which, incidentally, is symbolized as K on chemistry’s Periodic Table of Elements—surely a sign!) as a medium banana.
fibre fab. A serving of Zespri Green kiwifruit is high in fibre (bonus: both the soluble and insoluble kinds, which work together to scrub and flush our system clean).
amazin’ actinidin. This natural digestive enzyme, found only in kiwifruit, breaks down proteins. The result: improved digestive comfort. Plus, the actinidin makes green kiwis a natural meat tenderizer.
low-cal love. Minimal calories (less than 100 per serving) make Zespri Green kiwifruit the perfect snack, any time of day!
mood boost. Studies support that eating kiwifruit improves mood and vitality, due to their vitamin C content.
Best of all, Zespri growers continually perfect their craft by using best practices to ensure they deliver a quality kiwifruit. Translation: when it comes to our new kiwifruit obsession, it just keeps getting better and better! —Noa Nichol
