Kiwi Fruit

Kiwi fruit is a rich source of vitamin C. Its potassium content by weight is slightly less than that of a banana. It also contains vitamins A and E. The skin is a good source of flavonoid antioxidants.*Kiwi fruit was originally called Chinese Gooseberries but didn't become popular until a marketing campaign dubbed them Kiwi which is the official bird of New Zealand, now one of the largest producers of Kiwi fruit in the world.Strawberries and blueberries are also excellent sources for antioxidants and a combination of kiwi,strawberries and blueberries is a delicious topping for cereal or a light cheesecake.
