About Sliced kiwi

Kiwi, also known as kiwifruit, is a small, oval-shaped fruit native to China, though it is commercially cultivated in New Zealand, Italy, and Chile. Known for its vibrant green or golden flesh and tiny black seeds, kiwi has a tart-sweet flavor that complements a variety of cuisines, particularly in fruit salads, desserts, or as a stand-alone snack. Kiwi is a nutrient-dense food, offering a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, while remaining relatively low in calories (about 42 calories per 100 grams). It is also rich in potassium and trace amounts of vitamin E and folate, making it a versatile and healthful addition to most diets.
