Kiwi

One kiwi delivers roughly 60mg of vitamin C, most of a day's worth, plus actinidin, an enzyme that helps break protein down.

Buying & storing

  • Buy firm and ripen them at home in the fruit bowl
  • Loose kiwis usually undercut the plastic-packed multipacks
  • Green ones are cheaper than gold and do the same job

Keep it well: Ripe kiwis keep in the fridge for a week; firm ones ripen in a few days next to the bananas.

Sensible swaps

  • orange
  • strawberries
  • mango
