Kiwi is a vine fruit tree, also known as Rosa roxburghii, Rosa roxburghii, Dahongpao and Kiwi. And there are many kinds of kiwifruit. Kiwi is native to China. Li Shizhen, a pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty, thought that "its shape is like a pear, its color is like a peach, and macaques like to eat", so it was named Kiwi. The nature, taste and function of kiwifruit have been recorded in herbal medicines of past dynasties, and it is called a fruit with high medicinal and dietetic value. Kiwifruit can be eaten fresh, canned and preserved, and can also be made into juice, fruit wine, preserved fruit and jam. Kiwifruit wine brewed by Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain has a history of 1000 years and has been passed down from generation to generation. This wine is fragrant and refreshing, with mellow taste and good health care function.

Kiwifruit is sweet and juicy, and it is a healthy fruit with high nutrition. Every100g of kiwifruit contains sugar14g, protein1.6g, potassium 320mg, calcium 56.1.6mg, iron1.6mg, phosphorus 42.2mg and magnesium/kloc-0. The study also found that the roots, leaves and flowers of kiwifruit can be used as medicine, which has certain curative effect on esophageal cancer and gastric cancer.

It is worth mentioning that kiwifruit is a good nutritious food for women of childbearing age. As we know, folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin, which plays an important role in cell division and growth and the synthesis of nucleic acids, amino acids and protein, and is an indispensable nutrient for fetal growth and development. Folic acid deficiency in pregnant women may lead to low birth weight, cleft lip and palate, heart defects and so on. Kiwifruit contains as much as 8% folic acid, and has the reputation of "natural folic acid family". Eating kiwifruit as usual before or at the beginning of pregnancy is helpful to prevent and treat various birth defects and congenital heart diseases of the fetus. Kiwi also contains three natural antioxidant vitamins: carotene can improve human immunity and help fetal eye development; Rich vitamin C and vitamin E can improve the body's resistance, promote the body's absorption of sugar, and let the fetus get nutrition. In addition, phenols, sugars and minerals contained in kiwifruit play an important role in repairing cell membrane and activating immune cells.

Therefore, expectant mothers can often eat kiwifruit, because folic acid and vitamins are easy to decompose and destroy at high temperatures, so kiwifruit should be eaten raw.
