Guest guest Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Organic kiwis are healthier: Researchers from the University of California at Davis grew two sets of kiwi vines on the same ranch to compare the effects of fruit grown with agricultural chemicals and without. The organically grown kiwis developed darker, thicker, insect-resistant skins and produced 14 percent more vitamin C and 17 percent more polyphenols (health-promoting antioxidants). The researchers reported their findings in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture and concluded: " All the main mineral constituents were more concentrated in the organic kiwi fruit.
