Eating kiwi with the skin can significantly increase its nutritional value. This was reported by nutritionist N. Ladla-Rain and nutritionist R. Lambert.
According to specialists, green kiwi is rich in dietary fiber, potassium, polyphenols, and vitamin C on its own. However, when the fruit is consumed whole, its beneficial properties are enhanced. In particular, the amount of fiber increases by about half, and the content of folic acid and vitamin E becomes higher.
The dietary fibers found in kiwi positively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. They help maintain normal digestion and reduce the likelihood of bloating. This was noted by specialists in a comment for the Daily Mail.
Additionally, experts pointed out that kiwi can have a positive impact on sleep quality and emotional well-being. In their opinion, the benefits of this fruit are often underestimated.
The high concentration of vitamin C in kiwi plays a role in the collagen production process and contributes to improving skin condition. In this regard, specialists recommend thoroughly washing the fruit and consuming it whole, adding it to various dishes.
At the same time, experts noted possible limitations. People at risk of developing kidney stones are advised to reduce their intake of the skin, as it contains oxalates.
