How many calories does a kiwi contain?

Calories are energy, so you need them to get through the day - although you should preferably not ingest too large a quantity at once. However, there’s little risk of a kiwi giving you an excess of calories. A Zespri Green Kiwi (100 grams) contains barely 72 kcal, and the golden-yellow kiwi has an even lower calorie content (with an energetic value of no more than 55 kcal). In short: the kiwi is a wholesome low-calorie treat!

How good for you, exactly?

A kiwi contains almost as much vitamin C as two oranges or three lemons. Zespri Green and Zespri Gold Kiwis are also full of antioxidants and fibre, and have a large quantity of potassium and vitamin E. We compare the kiwi with a number of fruits and vegetables that are generally described as being very wholesome.
