Kiwi fruit provides an excellent source of vitamin C. It also offers a very good source
of fiber. Kiwi contains decent amounts of vitamins A and E, phosphorus, magnesium,
potassium, and copper.
Kiwi, like other vitamin C-rich foods, is especially important in promoting respiratory
tract health. Studies have shown that kiwi and citrus are also effective against
respiratory-related health problems including wheezing, shortness of breath, and high
coughing. Kiwi is also rich in antioxidants and enzymes.
