Coming in at fewer than 50 calories per kiwi, these tasty little fruits are packed with as much fibre as one cup of instant oatmeal, 23 almonds or one cup of brussel sprouts. Kiwis are also a good source of folate, high in antioxidant vitamin C and a great source of vitamin C. Plus they’re easy to pop into your lunch bag for a quick snack at any time. SunGold kiwis are the golden versions of the fruit you know and love. They contain twice the vitamin C of a 100-gram orange and as much potassium as a medium-sized banana. Both varieties are available from mid-summer to January.
