Fruit Of The Summer

Kiwi is the new black. Dr. Dharma Khalsa, author of, "Food as Medicine", says kiwifruit is one of the most underrated healing foods. Rutgers University conducted a study of 27 fruits to determine which fruit provides the most nutrition. Kiwi was found to have almost twice the amount of vitamin C than that of an orange and was found to be the top low-sodium, high potassium food. Dr. Jonny Bowden, author of "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth," ranks kiwifruit within those 150 healthy foods. Bowden suggests adding kiwi to fresh juice and notes that if you juice kiwi unpeeled they are rich in healthy enzymes. We suggest adding kiwi to your summer fruit salads for some extra color and vitamin C.
