How to distinguish the authenticity of Zhou Zhi kiwifruit

1. Judging maturity: When choosing kiwifruit, it is generally necessary to choose fruits that are in a solid state as a whole. Try to avoid fruits that have already become soft overall or have soft spots in certain areas. If selected, eat it immediately after returning home. Because kiwifruit, like many other fruits, once it becomes soft and ripe, it will rot and spoil within a day or two<2. Appearance: Extreme attention should be paid to whether the fruit has mechanical damage. Any small bumps, soft spots, or damages should not be purchased. Because as long as there is a little damage, the affected area will quickly become soft, sour, and even ulcerated, causing the entire fruit to become soft and tasteless before it matures normally, seriously affecting the edible quality of kiwifruit<3. Check hardness: Fruits with full body shape, no damage or disease are better, and those with a faint green color near one end are the best. The number of burrs on the skin varies depending on the variety. Small fruits are not inferior to large fruits in terms of taste and nutrition, so there is no need to blindly pursue large fruits, let alone exceptionally large fruits<4. Judging by color: kiwifruit with thick green flesh and a sweet and sour taste has the best quality and the highest vitamin content. The lighter flesh color is slightly inferior

Tasting and eating methods of Zhou Zhi kiwifruit

Mature kiwifruit has a hard texture, and those who like to eat it with a sour taste can eat it directly without peeling. Hard and fresh fruits should be placed in a natural environment at a temperature of 10-20 degrees Celsius for about 15 days. If mixed with other fruits for about 5 days, the fruit will begin to fully ripen. You can split the fruit in half and use a small spoon to scoop out the flesh for consumption

Kiwi fruit is cold in nature and should not be consumed excessively. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should eat it with caution, and those with diarrhea should not consume it. People with threatened miscarriage, excessive menstruation, and frequent urination should avoid eating. Due to the high content of vitamin C in kiwifruit, it is easy to clump with proteins in dairy products, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Therefore, after consuming kiwifruit, do not immediately drink milk or eat other dairy products
