Kiwifruit
Kiwi Fruit
Kiwifruit ~ an egg shaped, brown, thin and furry skinned fruit, rich in Vitamin C, other vitamins and minerals, fibre and antioxidants, also called as Chinese Gooseberry and native to China, with syrupy bright emerald green inner flesh and flecked attractively with tiny edible black seeds, and white rays that shoot out from the center. Its peel is inedible
To remove the flesh, cut the fruit into half, and scoop it out using a spoon. Slice it and serve immediately. It tastes deliciously sweet and tart, similar to strawberry.
Did you know: Kiwi fruit is also used as a meat tenderizer as it contains a protein dissolving enzyme.
Luv,
Mona

In answer to the last line, No, I didn’t know that (that it can be used as a “meat tenderizer”); have you ever tried it that way?
Do you mean I could use it, say, in place of papaya in my biryani 😮 ?
MJ, I have not used it as a meat tenderizer yet, but I have heard from a few people that they do. ~Mona

It is a meat tenderiser. But what I know you can’t keep it on the meat for more than 15-20 minutes before cooking the meat.

you know what, why papaya is used as meat tenderizer while u marignate ur kachi biriyani or other stuff. Papaya is rich in protein called papain. This protein is an enzyme that cleaves other proteins and thus tenderizes the meat. That is the biochemical basis for the use of papain. Other tenderizers which u can use is raw fresh spleen, as it is a rch source of proteases. Thats how it works. Kiwi has nothing to do as tenderizer unless it is rich in proteases. Its a nice site and i enjoy reading stuff.
