We’re putting kiwi fruit under the spotlight! To improve kiwi fruit quality control we need to understand a bit more about how this fruit grows and what makes a kiwi crop thrive. Known as the most nutrient-dense fruit with high levels of vitamin C content, it’s no surprise that more than four million tonnes of kiwi fruit is produced each year!
Kiwi fruits originate in China and the country is still responsible for a large percentage of kiwi production today. There are a number of health benefits to eating kiwis, including decreasing blood pressure and increasing dietary fiber. Kiwi fruit has also been known to reduce the risk of heart disease as a result of being a good source of vitamin C as well as other vitamins and minerals, and of course its impact on blood pressure.
