According to the publication “Teacher’s newspaper”, scientists recommend not throwing away the kiwi peel, but eating the fruit with it. If the pulp contains about 3.8 g of valuable fiber per 100 g of the product, then it is 50% more in the peel. It also contains substances that help lower blood cholesterol levels.
Kiwi, also known as Chinese actinidia, Chinese gooseberry or monkey peach, is one of the champions in terms of the content of nutrients. It contains the whole complex of vitamins and minerals that a person needs, including B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9), PP, E, C, potassium, magnesium, copper, silicon, cobalt, as well as the valuable enzyme actinidin , which promotes the breakdown of proteins, improves digestion and metabolism. The peel has all these properties.
To get rid of the nasty hairs on the skin (as well as dirt and bacteria), soak the kiwi fruit in water with a little baking soda, then rinse it thoroughly and wipe it with a hard towel. If the peel still doesn’t seem appetizing, just make a smoothie or juice.
