Highlight: Native to Central China, kiwi fruit 奇异果 are recorded as early as the Song dynasty (960–1279 CE) where they were collected from the wild and used medicinally. In the early 20th century the first commercial plantings were made in New Zealand and after WWII exports made to the UK and later California, first of the green Actinidia deliciosa then later Actinidia chinensis, the golden kiwi fruit.

Kiwifruit has long fascinated researchers for its ability to protect cell lipids and DNA from oxygen-related free radical damage. The nutrient dense fruit is high in vitamin C and the phenolics epicatechin, quercitrin, rutin, catechin, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and vanillic acid. They have a similar fibre content to apples, and an equally beneficial effect of colon health.

As with most fresh fruit and vegetables there are higher concentrations of fibre and antioxidants in the skin and with organic produce it is safe to eat the skin. With kiwis, eating the skin can double the amount of available fibre and increase folate B9 and vitamin E by 32% and 34% respectively. There is also more vitamin C in the skin, so for best results simply wash, top and tail and eat whole.

Kiwis are extremely versatile, simply eat them raw or add to a smoothie. They are delicious frozen in slices or made into popsicles or simply cubed and added to a spinach salad with nuts, dried fruit and feta cheese
