BEVERAGES DAIRY FROZEN PRODUCE TALK: KIWI FRUIT Kiwis are small fruits that pack a lot of flavor and plenty of health benefits. Their green flesh is sweet and tangy. It’s also full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium. They also have a lot of antioxidants and are a good source of fiber. Their small black seeds are edible, as is the fuzzy brown peel, though many prefer to peel the kiwi before eating it. Thanks to different growing locations, kiwis can be in season year-round. They’re grown in California from November to May, and in New Zealand from June to October. Kiwi can also be found in supplement form. Health Benefits of Kiwi Fruit Can Help Treat Asthma It’s thought that the high amount of vitamin C and antioxidants that kiwis contain can actually help treat people with asthma. One study from 2000 found that there was a beneficial effect on the lung function among those who consumed fresh fruit regularly, including kiwis. Fresh fruit like kiwi may reduce wheezing in susceptible children. Aids Digestion Kiwis have plenty of fiber, which is already good for digestion. They also contain a proteolytic enzyme called actinidin that can help break down protein. One study recently found that kiwi extract containing actinidin greatly enhanced the digestion of most proteins. Boost the Immune System Kiwis are nutrient-dense and full of vitamin C. In fact, just 1 cup of kiwi provides about 273 percent of your daily recommended value. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient when it comes to boosting your immune system to ward off disease. One study even found that kiwis may support immune function and reduce the likelihood of developing cold- or flu-like illnesses. This is especially true in at-risk groups like adults over the age of 65 and young children. Reduces Risk of Other Health Conditions Oxidative stress can result in damage to our DNA. This can lead to health problems. Partially thanks to its antioxidants, there is some evidence from an older study that regular consumption of kiwi or kiwi extract reduces the likelihood of oxidative stress. Since oxidative DNA damage is strongly linked to colon cancer, regular kiwi consumption could lower your risk of colon cancer, too. Can Help Manage Blood Pressure Not only can kiwi fruits provide an extra boost to our immune system, they can also help us to manage our blood pressure. A 2014 study found evidence that the bioactive substances in three kiwis a day can lower blood pressure more than one apple a day. Long term, this may also mean a lowered risk for conditions that can be caused by high blood pressure, like strokes or heart attacks. Reduces Blood Clotting In addition to helping us manage our blood pressure, kiwis can actually reduce blood clotting. A study from the University of Oslo found that eating two to three kiwis a day significantly lowered the risk of blood clotting. They were also found to reduce the amount of fat in the blood. Researchers said that these effects were similar to those of a daily dose of aspirin to improve heart health. Protects Against Vision Loss Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss, and kiwis might help protect your eyes from it. One study found that by eating three servings of fruit a day, macular degeneration was decreased by 36 percent. Kiwis’ high levels of zeaxanthin and lutein are thought to contribute to this effect. How to Prepare Kiwi Fruit It is important to wash any fruit before cutting it. This will prevent your chances of eating pesticides or bacteria. Simply rinse it off with warm water. Although you can use a vegetable cleaning spray, it is important to keep in mind that it really does not make a huge difference. You can use a paper towel to dry the kiwi fruit off. In order to prepare a kiwi fruit, the first thing that you will want to do is peel the skin. To do this, cut off each end of the kiwi. Then, get your knife underneath the skin of the kiwi and peel it from all the way around the entire fruit. If this does not work for you, try peeling the fruit vertically, beginning from the top to the bottom. This will take slightly longer to do but can make the peeling process easier. Once the kiwi has been peeled, the next thing that you will need to do is slice it. Kiwi fruits have a core in the center. Some people prefer to cut around the core. There are also people who prefer to scoop the seeds out of the fruit. Keep in mind that both of these things are not necessary to do. Slicing the kiwi fruit horizontally is the easiest way. If you want to cut around the core of the fruit, you can also cut the kiwi in vertical slices. Many people do not realize that you do not need to peel and cut a kiwi fruit in order to eat it. The skin and seeds of kiwi fruits can be eaten, but keep in mind that you will want to avoid eating the core of the fruit. Pavlova Deluxe Ingredients: 6 egg whites 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, chilled 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar 8 kiwi Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease interior of 8 inch springform pan and dust lightly with cornstarch. 2. Beat egg whites, preferably in a glass or ceramic bowl, until stiff and glossy. Make sure egg whites have absolutely no contact with grease (fresh or residual), or even a speck of yolk. Combine cream of tartar, white sugar, and cornstarch; gradually beat in to the egg whites. Sprinkle vinegar over egg white mixture, then fold it in very gently. 3. Pile meringue into prepared pan. Spread to the sides leaving a slight depression in the center. Place in preheated oven. Close the oven door, and immediately turn oven down to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Bake for 75 to 90 minutes. Open oven door, but leave meringue in the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove meringue to a draft free spot. Very carefully remove rim of spring form pan, and allow meringue to cool completely. There may be a slight sinking in the center. Carefully remove meringue from pan base, and place on serving platter. 4. Whip cream, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar until thick and firm. Gently spread over the meringue. 5. Remove the pulp from the passion fruit, and spoon over cream. If using kiwi, peel and slice the fruit; arrange slightly overlapping slices in a pleasing design. Chill until serving time.
