Features: The kiwifruit is an ancient vine fruit tree species with a long history of cultivation and utilization in Chinese gardens. In the Warring States period, ancient people used it to treat edema, while the Tang Dynasty used it to treat joint pain, paralysis, gray hair, and constipation. With the development of science, researchers have found that kiwifruit is rich in active vitamin C and the anticancer substance rutin. The former can enhance the physiological functions of the human body, while the latter can block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body. Therefore, it has received widespread attention in clinical medicine for preventing high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, correcting constipation, and anti-aging. In addition to being eaten fresh, kiwifruit can also be processed into various food products such as juice, jam, dried fruit, and jelly, and is highly favored by consumers.
