30 Day Raw Vegan Fruit Project
Day 28

Raw Vegan Fruit Project:

The featured fruit for Day 28 is the Kiwifruit!

Here's some interesting trivia regarding the fruit's name--Kiwis originated in China, and were originally known as Yang Tao. In 1960, they were renamed the "Chinese Gooseberry", then again renamed "Kiwifruit" in 1962.

-As for choosing a kiwi, the fruit should give a little when pressed. Don't buy overly mushy or bruised kiwis. If you happen to choose one that's no quite ripe, pop it into a paper bag (with a banana, apple, or pear) and it should ripen in a day or so.

And here are some kiwifruit health tidbits:

Vitamin C and E

Magnesium

Potassium

Copper

Fiber

-Kiwifruit helps protect your blood vessels and heart.

-Kiwifruit help reduce triglyceride levels in your blood.

-The fiber in kiwis help to control blood sugar and keep your colon healthy!

-Vitamin C in kiwifruit has been shown to help lessen the symptoms associated with asthma.

-Kiwifruits provide fantastic free-radical protection (thanks to the Vitamin C and E, specifically).

and now for your LOW FAT, RAW VEGAN RECIPE featuring KIWIFRUIT...
