KIWI FRUIT FTW!


what's so good about kiwi fruit? well... for one they contain more vitamin c than oranges, as much potassium as bananas and a good whack of beta-carotene! but also contain a significant amount of vitamins E + A and are a great source of dietary fibre - which can guard against diabetes and some cancers

that's not all! kiwi fruits have also been shown to reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration by 36%, protect our DNA from mutation, and help prevent asthma - particularly in children. 

for more information about these little green powerhouses check out kiwi-fruit.info and whfoods.com.
