vitamin C makes a difference: it helps reduce fatigue and supports the immune system. Good news, a seasonal fruit ticks all the boxes in terms of taste and practicality. THE yellow kiwisofter than green, can be found on French stalls. The key is a simple gesture that can go a long way.
Its consumption period extends from November to May. Its nutritional profile is already calling attention to nutritionists, especially when winter sets in. Among common citrus fruits and fruits, it challenges preconceived ideas. It remains to be seen how well it keeps its promises. And no need to peel lots of fruit. One detail changes everything.
How much vitamin C in yellow kiwi? The key figures
On the vitamin scale, the yellow kiwi
gets a head start. It reaches up to 161,3 mg
pour 100 g of vitamin Cwhen green kiwi provides 92.2 mg per 100 g and orange only 53.2 mg per 100 g. In France, ANSES (National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety) sets the recommended intake at 110 mg per day for an adult. The comparisons are clear on 100 g. This landmark serves as a compass in the heart of winter.
The calculation is simple: a fruit of 68 g or more covers 100 % of the daily goal. However, a yellow kiwi weighs on average between 90 and 120 g, enough to stay in the green without effort. A practical size for breakfast, a snack or a light dessert. No complicated calculations, no supplement to swallow.
Daily benefits of yellow kiwi and limits to respect
Eat one yellow kiwi each day provides a useful dose of vitamin C which helps the body produce cells and antibodies responsible for fighting infections. It also provides 2 to 3 g of fiber per 100 ga boost for the transit and balance of the intestinal flora. Milder taste, melting texture, it goes well with children and sensitive palates. A combo that comes at the right time when viruses are circulating.
Some naturopaths recommend two kiwis per day to take full advantage of these benefits. Be careful though: even if it is softer and sweeter, yellow kiwi remains acidic, and excessive consumption can cause mouth ulcers or damage tooth enamel. The idea is not to abuse it, but to establish it permanently in the routine. Listening to your sensitivity remains the best compass.
