-Small oval fruits with a thin brown skin, soft green flesh and black seeds.
-Kiwis are originally from China and were improved in New Zealand
-Kiwis contain a protein-splitting enzyme. Other fruit that contains this enzyme are fresh papaya, pineapple and babaco. This substance makes the fruit easy to digest and fried together with meat it makes it more tender. If you put this fruit in dairy products it will make them watery. If the fruit is cooked like all canned and other processed fruit this enzyme is no longer active.
-Kiwis are a subtropical and not a tropical fruit. Therefore it is best to store them in the fridge.
-To make them ripe faster you can keep them in a closed plastic bag together with an apple, pear or banana. These fruits excrete ethylene gas which fastens the riping of kiwis and avocadoes.
