Kiwi Gold
by Dr. Reuven Bruner, Ph.D.
You've probably tried kiwi fruit, that furry-skinned, green-
fleshed orb that tastes kind of like a tart strawberry. But
now New Zealand is pushing a yellow-colored version we think
is even better. It's marketing under the name Zespri Gold,
it's sweeter than peach or mango, but at the same time has
fewer calories (40 in one medium fruit versus the original
version's 50). And as with the green types, a two-fruit
serving has more vitamin C than an orange and more potassium
than a banana, along with a variety of antioxidants.
THE RUNDOWN -- 2 medium Zespri Gold Kiwi fruit: 80 calories
20 gm carbs, 2g protein
