Kiwi fruits add an interesting flavor to green smoothies. If you own a high speed blender and your kiwi fruits are organic, you can leave the skin on. An alternative is to peel them or cut them in half and scoop the flesh out.

Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals. They contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene. Kiwi fruits are high in Vitamin K. They are a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol) and Copper.

I recently found some information about the health benefits of kiwi fruits and how they may prevent asthma, wheezing and coughing, especially in children.
