Kiwi Berry is an amazing superfood that you should be eating, here is why

Diets rich in fruits (and vegetables) are considered to be the healthiest. The most common ones, such as bananas, apples and berries, are readily available on the market. However, there is a wide range of fruits out there that are yet to be discovered and investigated for their health benefits. The study below focused on one such fruit.

This study, published in the journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, highlighted the currently recorded nutritional and therapeutic properties of the kiwi berry.

The researchers aim to motivate an “increased demand for exotic tastes coupled with a unique and healthy eating experience.”

The recent study found over 20 essential nutrients and a range of vitamins in kiwi berry, which puts it among the top fruits classed as superfoods. It is abundant in vitamin C, with up to 430 mg per 100 g fresh weight (FW) and is considered the richest dietary source of vitamin B8 or myo-inositol, up to 982 mg/100 g FW. The study also reveals that kiwi berry is a rich source of lutein (up to 0.93 mg/100 g FW), as well as containing up to 1301.1 mg/100 g FW phenolics and significant amounts of the essential minerals of potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese and zinc.
