Kiwi Fruit

Description:

Kiwi fruit, with its fuzzy brown skin and vibrant green flesh, is a small, tropical fruit known for its unique sweet-tart flavour. Its tiny black seeds add a crunch to the soft, juicy interior. Often enjoyed fresh, in fruit salads, smoothies, or desserts, kiwi is a versatile fruit that adds colour and a tangy zest to any dish.

Health Benefits From Eating Kiwi Fruit:

Rich in vitamin C, which boosts immunity and promotes healthy skin. Its high fibre content supports digestion and gut health. Packed with antioxidants, kiwi helps reduce inflammation and protect cells from oxidative damage. It also aids in heart health and improves sleep quality due to its serotonin content.

How To Prepare Your Kiwi Fruit :

Start by slicing off both ends with a knife. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin, or peel the skin away with a knife or vegetable peeler. Once peeled, slice or chop the kiwi as desired for use in salads, smoothies, or as a snack.
