The fuzzy fruit kiwi is a rich source of vitamin E and A, folic acid, minerals (like magnesium, copper, phosphorus), pectin fiber and potassium (20% more than bananas). <\/p>\n

Highly packed with vitamin C, eating this fruit daily can give your immunity a great boost. Consumption of the fruit has also been associated with less respiratory problems like shortness of breath, wheezing and night coughing. <\/p>\n

The kiwi fruit also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are linked in the prevention of macular degeneration. <\/p>\n
