Since she played the little girl of the Addams family in Miercoles, Jenna Ortega has had no shortage of new projects and a legion of followers on social networks, who do not overlook anything (styling, advertising campaigns or love life). The latest comments have arisen after the young actress uploaded a story to Instagram of her eating a kiwi with the skin included.
In bites, Ortega devours this fruit rich in vitamin C and fiber, which makes it a recommended food in case of constipation. However, many have not been able to help but notice that the skin of the kiwi is also eaten, reopening the debate about whether or not it is beneficial to eat the skin of the fruits.
The skin of the fruit can be thin, so it will hardly be noticeable when ingested. On the other hand, in other foods it is thicker and rougher, a touch that not everyone likes and that makes it difficult to eat.
According to specialists, the skins of fruits and vegetables are important because they contain a large amount of fiber. Hence, it is recommended to consume it with it in some cases, but always well washed previously.
That is the case of the kiwi. A good part of the vitamin C and fiber that this fruit contains is concentrated in the skin. Therefore, nutritionists support this practice. There are even some who claim that a greater amount of nutrients are concentrated there than in the pulp.
In any case, specialists remember that kiwi is a good option at any time of the day (breakfast, noon, lunch, snack or dinner), as well as versatile, because it can be eaten in bites or included in a smoothie.
