　　Kiwifruit generally has an oval shape. In its early stage, the appearance is greenish-brown, turning reddish-brown when ripe. Its skin is covered with dense fuzz and is edible. Inside is bright green flesh with a row of black or red seeds. It is named kiwifruit because monkeys love to eat it; there is also a belief that it is so named because its fuzzy skin resembles a monkey’s face. It is a fruit known for its tender quality, rich nutrition, and delicious flavor.

　　The texture of kiwifruit is soft, with a sweet and sour taste. Its flavor is described as a blend of strawberry, banana, and pineapple. In addition to containing organic compounds such as kiwifruit alkaloids, proteolytic enzymes, tannin pectin, and sugars, as well as trace elements such as calcium, potassium, selenium, zinc, and germanium, and all 17 amino acids needed by the human body, kiwifruit is also rich in vitamin C, citric acid, fructose, malic acid, and fat.
