The notable flavor and green color of the kiwifruit made it a beloved delicacy in ancient China, where it is thought to have originated. 

Much like the strawberry and gooseberry, kiwifruit contains edible seeds which are virtually unnoticeable.  The popular fruit eventually spread to other countries, specifically New Zealand, which produces the majority of the world’s kiwifruit, noted for its fuzzy skin and bright green color.

The juice of the small but mighty kiwi contains many nutrients, including vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that has many functions such as the promotion of healthy skin and gums and the ability to increase iron absorption.  Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that has various functions, including helping protect cells in the body from damaging compounds.¹²
