Rich in fiber, kiwifruit contains several nutrients that are particularly beneficial for sleep quality.
First and foremost, it is rich in serotonin, which directly influences the duration and restorative nature of sleep. This serotonin is essential because it is used by the brain to produce melatonin, known for regulating the circadian rhythm and signaling to the body that it's time to sleep.
Kiwifruit also contains vitamins C and E, which are antioxidants. High oxidative stress can contribute to sleep disorders. The high antioxidant content of kiwifruit can reduce this stress and thus promote better sleep.
Green kiwi or yellow kiwi?
In terms of taste, the difference is clear: green kiwis offer a more tangy flavor, while yellow kiwis are milder, slightly sweet, and have a thinner, smoother skin, often making them more pleasant to eat.
The choice depends mainly on your needs and preferences. Yellow kiwis are ideal for a vitamin C boost, while green kiwis are distinguished by their high fiber content.
In both cases, you'll enjoy a complete fruit with positive effects on your immune system, digestion, and skin. An excellent reason to eat them regularly, regardless of the variety you choose.
France is now among the leading European producers of kiwifruit, just behind Greece and Italy. Grown mainly in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie, this fruit is prized as much for its taste as for its health benefits.
It comes in two main varieties: the green kiwifruit (Hayward), the most common, and the yellow kiwifruit (SunGold), recognizable by its golden, sweeter flesh.
