Kiwi

The ‘anteri’ was merely another wild fruit growing in the jungles of the Ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh’s Lower Subansiri district. But a decade ago, a few farmers realised that anteris were in fact, kiwis.

It is moderately hairy and more rounded than other kiwi varieties. Hayward has the best eating quality of the existing green varieties, mainly due to higher levels of sweetness. The skin is thin and the flesh is an attractive green with a white centre.

Deliciously juicy and refreshingly sweet with just a hint of sour. It is a great source of vitamin C, dietary fibre, antioxidants and other minerals, making it one of the most nutrient-dense fruit available.

Gold kiwifruit has smooth, hairless skin that’s a nice golden-brown colour. The flesh of golden kiwifruit is a vibrant yellow colour with a smaller core and fewer seeds.

It has a peculiar tangy taste and its demand is quite good among certain buyers.
