Kiwi
The kiwi is the fruit that is obtained from the actinidia plant, of the family of the actinidiáceas. It is an ovoid-shaped berry fruit covered with a thin brown skin, slightly hairy, which includes a very juicy and acid green pulp (although in some varieties it can be yellow).
Today we find different varieties on the market: the kaquiara II, the Actinidia and the hayward. In Spain, the most commercialized variety is the Hayward.

Some benefits you didn't know about taking kiwi
As with many other fruits, kiwis have a high water content. In terms of nutritional composition, it is worth noting that this fruit is a source of fibre and contains a very high concentration of vitamins from group C.
Kiwi contains actinidine, a proteolytic enzyme which helps to digest proteins more effectively. In terms of the composition of minerals, it stands out for its high quantities of potassium and, to a lesser extent, phosphorous, calcium and magnesium.
