Fruit of the Month

Summer is around the corner and the kiwi is calling your name! This deliciously tart yet sweet fruit packs a whopping 219% of the DRI (daily reference intake) for Vitamin C and 21% of the DRI for fiber, with only 108 calories and under 1 g of fat per cup (approximately 2 large kiwis).

Fun fact: Kiwi actually originated in China during the 14th century, where it was called the gooseberry. It was renamed when New Zealand started producing it commercially.
