Hongyang Kiwifruit

Hongyang Kiwifruit

　　　When the fresh fruit is cut horizontally through the core, radiant purple-red lines spread outward from the center, resembling the rays of the sun, creating a beautiful coloration — hence the name "Hongyang Kiwifruit." This variety is medium to large in size with uniform shape, averaging 80 grams per fruit, and can reach up to 130 grams. The fruit is short and cylindrical, with tender, sweet, and refreshing flesh (fragrant type, 18.5% sugar content), small core, and rich flavor. It contains 350 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of flesh — 100 times that of an apple — earning it the title "King of Vitamin C." The fresh fruit is also rich in rare natural vitamin E, 17 types of free amino acids, and various mineral components. It not only offers anti-cancer health benefits but also boasts unique anti-aging, detoxifying, and skin-rejuvenating effects, thus being hailed as a "green beautician." This variety is undoubtedly one of the best current options for both medicinal and dietary use. Its taste is superior to any other kiwifruit variety currently cultivated in China or abroad. It ripens in late August.

　　 Resources have planted nearly 1,000 acres of Hongyang Kiwifruit. The fruits are medium to large and uniform in size, generally weighing 60–110 g per fruit, with the largest reaching up to 130 g. The fruit is short and cylindrical, with a greenish-brown skin that is hairless. Hongyang Kiwifruit has a high total sugar content of 13.45%, nearly 5 percentage points higher than the popular global variety Hayward, while its total acid content is only 0.49%. It has 16.5% soluble solids, and is rich in calcium, iron, potassium, and other minerals, as well as 17 types of amino acids. Its vitamin C content reaches 135. The cross-section of the core displays radial red streaks resembling the sun’s rays — dazzling and beautiful to behold, and delightful to eat — containing red pigments beneficial for enriching blood and beautifying the complexion. The fruit gradually comes onto the market starting in late August.
