Some call them Chinese Gooseberries. To others they are zespri But to millions of people those fuzzy little balls of fruit are and always will be kiwifruit. Named so because physically they resemble New Zealand’s national bird, the kiwifruit is actually a berry that grows on a vine.
Well, recently I was enlightened... (thanks to google) that Zespri Green & Gold Kiwifruit has launched in India..! wow..! and its available with all the leading retail stores like Hyperciti, Godrej Natures' Basket, Reliance Retail, etc.
Eating kiwifruit is clearly a healthy choice, and it is particularly useful in these cases:
- Prevents Asthma
- Prevents wheezing and coughing, especially in children
- Protects our DNA from mutations
- Provides a healthy amount of antioxidants and vitamins
- Helps prevent colon cancer thanks to a high fiber content
Here's one mocktail that I tried after getting the Zespri Gold Kiwifruit.
Kiwi Sprizer :
Ingredients :
Orange Juice (can take any citrus fruit)
sugar
edible silver foil (optional)
Ice cubes
soda (can take any Dukes ,etc.)
Method :
In a Mixie, grind Zespri Gold Kiwifruit with 1/2 cup orange juice, sugar & edible silver foil.
Remember to grind in the whipper mode i.e. in the indian mixie.. turn the knob on the opposite direction to the grinding. This is necessary, as in the grinding the seeds would be grinned as well, which will give a bitter taste.
Pour this mix in a glass of your choice. Fill half the glass. Add 5 to 6 ice cubes. Thereafter, fill the remaining of the glass with Soda. Garnish with fresh kiwifruit & mint leaves. Served chilled tastes the best!
This is a super instant mock-tail when you have guests coming unannounced...!
aah...I'm already tempted...! let me go, get one for myself too.
