KIWI SHAKE/HOW TO MAKE A KIWI SHAKE

Living in New-Zealand gives you an opportunity to have kiwi's a whole year. I use to think that Kiwi stands for New-Zealand, but when I researched I came to know that Cultivation of the fuzzy kiwifruit spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand. The first commercial planting of Chinese gooseberries occurred in 1937, it was found that the vines were low maintenance and fruited well.

The name Chinese gooseberry was changed to kiwifruit as a marketing strategy in 1959. Gold-fleshed kiwifruit was grown from imported seeds in the 1970s. With smooth skins and a more tropical taste, they have proven popular. Kiwifruit exports boomed in the 1970s, but prices crashed in the late 1980s when other countries also began to grow and export the fruit. In 1988 the New Zealand Kiwifruit Marketing Board (now called Zespri) was set up to distribute and market kiwifruit internationally.

That's enough of the story about kiwi, let begins with the recipe of shake.

KIWI FRUIT-THE WORLD HEALTHIEST FOODS

Packed with more vitamin C than an equivalent amount of orange, the bright green flesh of the kiwifruit speckled with tiny black seeds adds a dramatic tropical flair to any fruit salad. California kiwifruit is available November through May, while the New Zealand crop hits the market June through October making fresh kiwis available year round.

The kiwifruit is a small fruit approximately 3 inches long and weighing about four ounces. Its green flesh is almost creamy in consistency with an invigorating taste reminiscent of strawberries, melons, and bananas, yet with its own unique sweet flavor.

1. Kiwifruit emerged from our food ranking system as an excellent source of vitamin C. This nutrient is the primary water-soluble antioxidant in the body, neutralizing free radicals that can cause damage to cells and lead to problems such as inflammation and cancer.

2. Our food ranking system also qualified kiwifruit as a very good source of dietary fiber. The fiber in kiwifruit has also been shown to be useful for a number of conditions. Researchers have found that diets that contain plenty of fiber can reduce high cholesterol levels, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Fiber is also good for binding and removing toxins from the colon, which is helpful for preventing colon cancer. In addition, fiber-rich foods, like kiwifruit, are good for keeping the blood sugar levels of diabetic patients under control.

3. Eating vitamin C-rich fruit such as kiwi may confer a significant protective effect against respiratory symptoms associated with asthma such as wheezing.
