Organic kiwi contains health promoting factors and this was studied by University of California researchers which undertook a comprehensive study for this purpose. Up till now the health benefits of organic and conventional foods was a debatable topic. Organic food has been found out to contain higher levels of polyphenols which is a healthy compound found in red wine and berries. Also these kiwis contain a higher level of antioxidant and ascorbic acid. Due to thick skin these kiwis can also resist pest attacks. The sales of organic foods are increasing across the globe and in 2003 the organic food market was worth $23-25 billion and it has been growing by nineteen percent every year. This gives us a hint that the future is organic food which can be really beneficial for our body systems. Via biologynews
