This is a Kiwi fruit, I love eating this fruit. Only I dont love is the price which is expensive for me.
Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals. In particular, they contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene.
Studies in Italy, though, performed on 6-7 year old children, have also demonstrated additional health benefits to the respiratory tract. In particular, children that were fed 5-7 portions a week of citrus and kiwifruits had 44% less probability wheezing compared to children eating less than once a week.
Shortness of breath was reduced by 32%,night time cough by 27%, severe wheeze by 41%, chronic cough by 25%, and runny nose by 28%. This results is not only traceable to the content in Vitamin C or Potassium, but in substances which are still largely unknown contained in kiwi fruit.
These substances are most likely flavonoids that help protect our cells from oxidative damage, and are therefore considered very helpful in protecting our DNA from mutations and damage.

Organic ones here are about 50 cents each, non organic you can get for a quarter. You can also buy them pre sliced in a plastic cup and those are pricey. about 5 dollars a pound. Amazing what you pay someone to slice your fruit in this country. I actually enjoy preparing my own food, and I especially appreciate being able to occasionally afford to eat LOL. The sad thing about America is that is is very affordable to eat what will kill you, but if you want to eat healthy plan on working some overtime!

How we wish we are growing our own fruits and veggies, all organic in the New World.

Can you imagine how wonderful that will be? Remember that picture in the Bible Stories Book when the men came from spying out the promised land and the fruits and stuff they'd brought back were HUGE. I can't wait to taste something pure!
