Hardy Kiwi/Kiwi Berry/Siberian Gooseberry
#Taste: tart, sweet, aromatic
#You can call me also Mini Kiwi.
#However, it differs from my cousin not only in size. I have a smooth, thin skin, so it can be eaten without peeling.
I am known in Asian countries - China, Japan - where I naturally grow.
#Unfortunately, my tiny kiwi fruits cannot be exported because I have a very delicate skin, which makes them very susceptible to mechanical damage.
#Although MY fruits are small, they are a real bomb of health-promoting ingredients.
#It is enough to mention the content of MY vitamin C - 100 g provides over 50 mg of this vitamin, which covers approx. 70 percent. the body's daily requirement for this ingredient.
#Interestingly, I contain as much potassium as bananas and more calcium than apples.
#Also surpass classic kiwis as far as the content of vitamin E is concerned, not without reason called the "vitamin of youth".
#MY product is also rich in polyphenols that have antioxidant properties - protect the body against harmful factors and oxidative stress, and at the same time remove free radicals.
