KIWI: Containing almost 20 vital nutrients, including five times the vitamin C of an orange in one serving, kiwis can legitimately be called a super fruit. This fuzzy brown powerhouse with the bright green flesh also is rich in vitamin A, K, E and B, potassium, copper, folate, and fiber.It has a notable protective effect against asthma and respiratory difficulties, such as wheezing.

Mandarins have anti-microbial properties that prevent wounds from getting septic and from viral, fungal and bacterial infections.
