Question
My son has poor digestion and is not suitable for eating fruits raw. Therefore, I want to cook the fruits before eating them. But will the nutritional value of cooked fruits decrease? Especially for kiwifruit, does it still have nutritional value after being cooked?
Answer
Kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C and other vitamins, which have a positive effect on relieving gastrointestinal discomfort. From a nutritional standpoint, cooking kiwifruit can lead to a significant loss of vitamin C. If the cooking temperature can be kept below 100°C, the loss of vitamins may be less than 50%. In fact, as long as kiwifruit is not eaten on an empty stomach, there should not be any major issues. You can try eating fresh kiwifruit directly, as long as it does not cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, reducing snacking, maintaining regular meals, and a regular lifestyle are also important.
