Kiwi

Peak Season: June to August

Perfect Pick: A ready-to-devour kiwi will be slightly yielding to the touch. Steer clear of those that are mushy, wrinkled, or bruised with an "off" smell.

Handle with Care: Store at room temperature to ripen. To quicken the process, place in a paper bag with an apple. Once ripened, place in the fridge in a plastic bag for up to 1 week.

The Payoff: Only 56 calories for a large kiwi and 20% more of the antioxidant vitamin C than an orange.
