Abstract

Contrary to popular belief, kiwifruit (also known as Actinidia) originated from northern China and not New Zealand, and is now grown across the world. From a nutritional standpoint, both the green and gold varieties of kiwifruit are highly nutrient dense and good sources of fibre, vitamins C and E, folate, and bioactive compounds such as phytochemicals. Two kiwifruit contain around 3·5 g of fibre and nearly 200 mg of vitamin C—which is twice the fibre and up to three times the vitamin C content of an average orange.
