Question
My son has poor gastrointestinal condition and cannot eat fruits raw. I want to cook the fruits for him, but I am worried that cooking will reduce the nutritional value. Is cooked kiwifruit still nutritious?
Answer
Kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C and various other vitamins, which can help stabilize gastrointestinal discomfort. From a nutritional perspective, the vitamin content of kiwifruit may decrease after cooking, but if the cooking temperature is kept below 100°C, the vitamin loss may be less than 50%. In fact, as long as kiwifruit is not eaten on an empty stomach, it should not have a significant impact on the body. You can try eating fresh kiwifruit as long as it does not cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, reducing the intake of snacks and maintaining a regular three-meal schedule is also very important.
