American kiwi

The news: This small, tart-sweet, fuzzy green fruit, long identified with New Zealand, is now being grown in the United States, particularly California (you’ll even see it at farmers’ markets).

Feel good factors: With more vitamin C than an orange, more potassium than a banana, and high amounts of fiber, a serving of two kiwis packs quite a health punch. New research also suggests a high vitamin E content―uncommon in fruits.

Ways to try it: Sure, it’s tasty in fruit salad, but give it a whirl in smoothies, fruit salsas, and green salads too.
