Kiwifruit is a natural fruit for lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, which can be eaten by patients with hyperglycemia, hypertension or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. This kind of food will not get angry if you eat too much. Kiwifruit has the function of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, which is good for us. For example, you can eat kiwifruit when you are on fire, but because kiwifruit has a lot of pulp, we must pay attention to ensuring its quality when eating and try not to eat some rotten fruits. When kiwifruit is rotten, it will breed bacteria, which will cause bacterial confusion in our stomach and lead to gastritis.
brief introduction
Kiwi is native to the south of China. Because macaques like to eat this kind of fruit, they are named kiwifruit. After kiwifruit was introduced into New Zealand, it was widely planted. People named kiwifruit after kiwifruit, the national bird of New Zealand, and called it "kiwifruit", which is one of the most famous fruits in New Zealand. [2]

Kiwifruit originated in China and was originally a wild fruit. It was not until the beginning of last century that a New Zealand female teacher brought it back to China from Wudu River in Yiling District, Yichang City, Hubei Province, that it developed into a kind of fruit called kiwifruit. The development process from wild to cultivated is quite legendary.
Kiwifruit, commonly known as carambola, peach, peach and pear, is an ancient wild vine fruit tree originating in China. Jiaokeng Village, huangyan district, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province also preserves kiwifruit plants transplanted from deep mountains to fields more than 200 years ago.
There are many kinds of plants called kiwifruit in China. According to botanists' investigation, there are more than 52 species of kiwifruit distributed in China, many of which are edible. At present, kiwifruit in the fruit market mainly refers to Chinese kiwifruit and delicious kiwifruit identified as a new variety by a certain variety in 1984. Their wild species are widely distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan in the north, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian in the south, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially Wudu River in Yiling District.
Kiwifruit has been eaten by the ancients for a long time. In addition to The Book of Songs, there is a peach in Erya Cao Shi, which was named carambola by Guo Pu, a famous naturalist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. People in Hubei and some places in eastern Sichuan also call kiwifruit kiwifruit.
The name Kiwifruit probably came into being in the Tang Dynasty. Tang's Compendium of Materia Medica states: "Kiwifruit is salty, warm and nontoxic, and can be used as medicine. Mainly used to treat joint pain, paralysis, perennial gray hair, hemorrhoids and so on. At least 1200 years ago, China had planted kiwifruit in the courtyard. Kiwifruit was not only eaten as wild fruit, but also cultivated as an ornamental flower in the courtyard because of its beautiful leaves and flowers in the Tang Dynasty. Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Li Laoshe sent his brother and nephew to stay in Taibai Dongxi", which contained the phrase "There is a kiwifruit on the atrium well", vividly describing the scene when people used kiwifruit to beautify their homes at that time. At the same time, the records in Notes on Materia Medica show that it was used as medicine at that time.
Kaibao Materia Medica, compiled during the Kaibao period in the Northern Song Dynasty (973-974), once recorded: "A vine pear, a Mu Zi pear, and a macaque pear." Some people say that it "looks like an egg with brown skin and is sweet and edible after frost." It can be seen from these records that the ancients ate it as a wild fruit. In the fifth year of Song Yuanfeng (1082), Tang said in Zheng Bencao: it tastes sweet and sour, born in the valley, creeping on the trees, with round and hairy leaves, and the fruit looks like duck eggs and goose eggs, with brown skin and sweet and edible after frost. In the sixth year of Song Zhenghe (A.D.116), the pharmacologist Kou Zongxuan recorded in Materia Medica Yi Yan: "Kiwi, there are many Nanshan in Yongxing Army (in Shaanxi), which is hot for food ... 10, which is light green in color, but just born. Perhaps it is the latter reason that makes it called kiwifruit. Of course, it had many aliases at that time.
"Anhui Tongzhi" said: "Kiwi, from yi county, belongs to carambola." Li Shizhen explained the cloud of "carambola", with leaves as big as palm, green on the top and white on the bottom, hairy, like ramie. This is kiwi fruit, not carambola. Incidentally, the peach recorded by Li Shizhen is really kiwi fruit, but he didn't know it. He thought kiwi fruit was another kind of fruit, so it was divided into two parts: the grass part and the fruit part.
According to relevant historical records, this kind of wild fruit has been used by people in mountainous areas, but the way of utilization may be similar to that of Rosa laevigata, which has not been domesticated and cultivated. Wu's Textual Research on the Names and Facts of Plants in Qing Dynasty records: "Now it is found in the mountainous areas of Jiangxi, Hunan and Henan, and the villagers may hold it for sale in the market."
Judging from the planting area and yield of kiwifruit in China, Shaanxi is the most important, and Meixian County in Shaanxi is known as the "hometown of kiwifruit". September 20 19 to September 20 17 10 is the World Kiwifruit Congress and the 6th China Shaanxi.
