The Zespri kiwi is a fruit from New Zealand, known for its Hayward variety which has a brown, fuzzy skin and bright green flesh. This variety is at its best when not overripe, as excessive ripening can harm its flavor. Kiwi offers numerous health benefits, particularly due to its high fiber content, which helps alleviate constipation and promotes intestinal transit. Additionally, it's rich in vitamin E and provides other vitamins including C, B1, B2, B3, B6, and K, along with essential minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. Its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties make it beneficial for combatting stress and useful in menopause and pregnancy situations. Ideally, it is recommended to store them in moderate conditions to preserve their freshness and flavor.
