Why Kiwi is a Superstar Food

The emerald-green brilliance of this delectable fruit aptly connotes the youth and vitality it offers.  Kiwi is loaded with vitamin C (even more than oranges!) along with a hefty dose of potassium, magnesium, fiber, and vitamin E.  This nutritional pedigree is further complimented with a load of both the carotenoid and flavonoid family of phytochemicals, making this fruit one of your best choices for cardiovascular health, vision health, cancer protection, and general anti-aging. Kiwis are a key ingredient in my anti-inflammatory smoothie recipe.
