Kiwi

Kiwi fruit. Well, it is not one of my favourite fruit, but it does has some pretty beneficial nutrients compared to other common fruits. To all kiwi lovers out there, you might be interested to check out this brand sold in KL/PJ area. Reasonable price, organically grown, and taste pretty delicious too. 

You may ask, why eat kiwi fruit? What's the benefits? Of course, you may Google it yourself and do your own research but let me just briefly share some of kiwi's nutritional information to you. Well, the most common question being asked about this fruit, does kiwi has more Vitamin C then an orange? The answer is YES. An average orange (small to medium size) has approximately 50-65g of Vitamin C, depending on the types of this fruit as well. Kiwi fruit has slightly more Vitamin C content then orange. But of course there are other fruits which has higher Vitamin C content, but there are other good stuff in this fruit. For instance, Vitamin K, Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, fiber, Vitamin A, folate, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, Vitamin E, etc. 

The question is, how many of you would pay approximately 200-250% more for a kiwi fruit, comparing with the ones sold commercially? Go organic!
