Kiwi, also known as the Chinese gooseberry, is a small, vibrant green fruit with tiny black seeds and a sweet-tangy flavor. Packed with vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, and vital enzymes, kiwi is a powerful superfruit that supports digestion, boosts immunity, and promotes radiant skin. At Farm Ayurveda, we offer naturally grown kiwi fruits, free from harmful chemicals, ensuring you enjoy both flavor and health with every bite.
Whether eaten raw, added to smoothies, or used in desserts, kiwi is incredibly versatile and nourishing. It’s especially beneficial for those looking to enhance their daily vitamin intake and improve gut health. With its refreshing taste and vibrant appearance, kiwi brings a burst of nutrition and natural energy to your diet.
Originally native to China, kiwi was known as “Yang Tao” and was used in traditional Chinese medicine for its cooling and healing properties. It was later cultivated in New Zealand in the early 20th century, where it got the name “Kiwi” after the country’s native bird. Over time, its popularity spread globally due to its health benefits and exotic flavor. In India, kiwi is now widely grown in the northeastern states and parts of Himachal Pradesh, offering a high-altitude climate ideal for its cultivation.
