The members of a cargo ship’s crew that benefit from the services provided by experts in victualling management often handle packages with soft insulating materials. Any such package could contain a fruit that displays its fuzzy insulation/protection on its skin. Once known as the hairy bush fruit, that particular, fuzzy food now bears the name kiwifruit. Authorities at the various marine catering companies have good reason to schedule shipment of boxed kiwis to the kitchens of catered vessels. Such a shipment might come from Italy, New Zealand, Chile or the United States. Regardless of its place of origin, every kiwi delivers an impressive range of healthful benefits.
Professionals at a marine catering company would certainly appreciate the kiwi’s ability to serve as an added source of fiber. Indeed, those seafarers that elect to devour an unpeeled kiwifruit get treated to extra fiber, along with a distinctly tart taste. Of course even peeled, the fiber-rich kiwi works to keep the digestive system moving at a healthy and even pace. By the same token, someone that demonstrates expertise in the delivery of victualling services would acknowledge the kiwi’s nutritive value. An orange’s measured Vitamin C content pales in comparison to the amount of Vitamin C in a kiwi. Hence, kiwis provide on board ship management with a way to keep members of a cargo ship’s crew free of inflammation in their bones or connective tissue.
When those in charge of on board catering services have arranged for a catered vessel to receive a shipment of kiwis, those same authorities furnish crew members with more than an added source of Vitamin C. The authorities’ directives help chefs to create dishes that contain Vitamin E, magnesium and copper as well. Those added nutrients reinforce the body’s ability to maintain the functionality of its cardiovascular system. Both maritime catering companies and experts in victualling management strive to supply on board chefs with nutritious food. Some foods, such as kiwis, manage to regulate blood sugar absorption. In other words, the fruits that were once called Chinese gooseberries can keep members of a cargo ship’s crew from feeling the effects of either a blood sugar spike or a blood sugar drop.
Finally, kiwis provide marine catering companies with an excellent means for making a natural remedy available to any seafarer that retains the evidence of earlier problems with asthma. Certainly, no marine catering company would expect a cargo vessel to employ a worker with a severe case of asthma. Still, an adult that has suffered with asthma as a child could develop a runny nose or a dry cough at night, if that same adult’s diet failed to deliver the nutritive value of a kiwifruit. The nutrients packaged into a kiwi limit an asthma victim’s chances for developing certain annoying conditions. For example, kiwis ensure the asthmatic’s ability to fight off symptoms such as wheezing, a runny nose, a chronic cough and shortness of breath. Obviously, no seafaring employee wants to deal with such symptoms while operating as a team member on a cargo vessel.
