A healthy body with AVOKADO

A healthy body with KIWI fruit

1. a rich source of vitamin C


2. less potassium content (by weight) than that of banana


3. also contains vitamins A and E


4. high level of dietry fibre so having mild laxative effects


5. skin is a source of flavonoid antioxidants


6. rich in the protein-dissolving enzyme actinidin, which is commercially useful as a meat tenderizer


7. Actinidin makes raw kiwifruit unsuitable for use in desserts containing milk or any other diary products which are not going to be served within hours, because it soon begins to dissolve milk proteins.


8. This also applies to gelatin based desserts, as well, as the actinidin will dissolve the collagen proteins in gelatin very quickly, either liquifying the dessert, or preventing it from solidifying. Cooking the fruit for a few minutes before adding to the gelatin will overcome this effect.


9. People allergic to papayas, latex or pineapples are likely to be allergic to kiwifruit also.
