Kiwi
The kiwi is a small, oval fruit, known for its brown, hairy exterior and its vibrant green interior with small, edible black seeds. Its flavor is a balanced mix of sweet and sour, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory recipes.
Native to China, the kiwi was popularized and commercially cultivated in New Zealand, the country from which its common name originates. Currently, its production extends to many regions of the world with temperate climates.
Regarding its properties, the kiwi is an excellent source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, which makes it beneficial for the immune system and digestion. Furthermore, it adds a fresh and exotic touch to salads, desserts, smoothies, and sauces.
In the context of Latin American cuisine, the kiwi is also known simply as kiwi, although in some countries it may be called green acerola or Chinese gooseberry, although these terms are not as common or universal.
