Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch), also known as kiwifruit (kiwifruit is an artificially bred variety of kiwifruit, which has become synonymous with kiwifruit because of its wide use).

Kiwifruit has a soft texture and a sweet and sour taste. The taste is described as a mixture of strawberry, banana and pineapple. In addition to organic substances such as actinidine, proteolytic enzyme, tannin pectin and sugar, trace elements such as calcium, potassium, selenium, zinc and germanium, and 17 amino acids needed by human body, kiwifruit is also rich in vitamin C, grape acid, fructose, citric acid, malic acid and fat.

Extended data Kiwifruit is divided into three series: green meat, yellow meat and red heart from the color of pulp. Green-fleshed kiwifruit generally has long skin and is called "delicious kiwifruit". Yellow meat and red heart varieties with smooth skin are called "Chinese kiwifruit". In contrast, "Chinese Kiwifruit" tastes sweet, while "Delicious Kiwifruit" is slightly sour.

However, due to the strict cultivation and management requirements, small planting area and low yield, the price of "Chinese kiwifruit" is relatively high in the market, and most of the ordinary consumers currently buy "delicious kiwifruit".

Kiwifruit is the best tasting period in late October and early November. When you buy kiwifruit, you should choose kiwifruit with uniform coat color, regular fruit shape and even soft and hard kneading.

In addition, special attention should be paid to the post-ripening period of kiwifruit, which needs to be placed for about a week to achieve a better taste. If you put it with apples and bananas, you can eat it in two or three days.
