It is called the Chinese gooseberry. Kiwi is available for our table all year round. Just one eaten fruit a day delivers a lot of vitamins and minerals to the body. Which of them are contained in kiwi fruits, and in what quantity?
Instructions
Step 1
Vitamin C. There is a record amount of it in kiwi, which surprises even scientists - 92 mg for every 100 grams. Compared to citrus fruits, as well as bell peppers, kiwi contains much more of this vitamin. During transportation, vitamin C is practically not lost from the fruit, but during heat treatment, a significant part of it is destroyed.
Step 2
Vitamin E. This microelement is delivered to the body from high-calorie foods such as nuts, vegetable oil. However, the vitamin E contained in kiwi practically does not provide additional calories to the body, therefore this fruit is of great interest to people adhering to various weight loss diets.
Step 3
Vitamin B9 or folic acid. Kiwi is one of those rare foods that contain this trace mineral. Folic acid is supplied to the body by herbs, liver, broccoli and, among the few fruits, kiwi. A small portion of these fruits provides the daily requirement for this element of the human body. In addition, vitamin B9 remains completely preserved in fruits, compared to heat-treated broccoli and liver, in which it is partially destroyed during cooking.
Step 4
Vitamin B6. An essential element primarily for pregnant and breastfeeding women, for the elderly. Doctors recommend using an increased amount of it for those women who take oral contraceptives. In kiwi, this element is in excess.
