Kiwi fruits are considered super fruits and have been named as immunity boosters! It has more Vitamin C than an Orange. Tiny black seeds of the fruit are rich with Omega -3 fatty acids. All in all a very healthy fruit. I tried to make a dish out of it in Indian style. Here is a simple yet delicious spicy kiwi chutney recipe.
