How often have we wondered “How much kiwi can be eaten per day?”

We experts of nuts and dried fruit have the answer!

The standard portion amounts to 40g per day, that is the ideal quantity to have a long and healthy life.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has stated that consuming a maximum of 40g of dried fruit per day can be of considerable benefit to the body. Dried fruit is a valuable daily ally because of the low-temperature dehydration process, which allows the nutritional characteristics and fibre, mineral and vitamin content to be maintained.

How much kiwi should you eat if you don’t have a scale at hand?

Sometimes when we are out and about and don't have a scale to hand, we find ourselves wondering how much dehydrated fruit to eat.

The ideal portion of dehydrated kiwi fruit should fit in the palm of your hand.

According to the British Nutrition Foundation's 'Find Your Balance' guide, a quick and intuitive way to measure the correct amount of food is in the palm of your hand, but that's not all. The BCF points to other units of measurement such as the fist, thumb and index finger together or both hands cupped together.

It is important to keep in mind that each adult has his or her own specific needs, so as the study reveals, this is a proportionally correct method: if you use your hands as the unit of measurement, the portions will vary with their size, so generally larger people will automatically get a larger amount, compared to smaller people with smaller hands.
