First imported from New Zealand, but now grown in the U.S., the furry brown kiwi has many superfood powers:
1. Fight off the Flu. Just 2 kiwis (a measly 90 calories) provides a whopping 230 percent of your daily requirement of immune-boosting vitamin C.
2. Protect your Peepers. Kiwis contain a plant pigment called lutein, which can help prevent cataracts.
3. Control Cholesterol. They are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which helps sweep cholesterol out of your body.
4. Keep Skin Clear. The skin-beautifying antioxidant vitamin E is ordinarily found in high fat foods like nuts, but kiwis are a great low fat source.
