Half a kiwi is a nutrient-dense and refreshing fruit native to China, although it's widely associated with New Zealand, where it's cultivated extensively. This small powerhouse is packed with vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C, providing over 50% of your daily requirement in just half of the fruit. It also contains vitamin K, vitamin E, fiber, and potassium, supporting healthy digestion, immune function, and heart health. Kiwi is rich in antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and promote skin health. Its natural sugars make it a sweet yet low-calorie option compared to many other fruits, and its high water content helps with hydration. While nutritious, individuals sensitive to oxalates should consume kiwi in moderation, as it may contribute to kidney stones in some cases. A half kiwi is a delightful addition to smoothies, salads, or eaten solo for a quick, healthy snack.
