Kiwi fruit has a soft texture and a sweet and sour taste. The taste is described as a mix of strawberry, banana and pineapple. In addition to organic substances such as actinidin, proteolytic enzymes, tannins, pectin, and sugars, as well as trace elements such as calcium, potassium, selenium, zinc, germanium, and 17 kinds of amino acids needed by the human body, kiwifruit is also rich in vitamin C, gluconic acid, fructose, citric acid, malic acid, and fat.

So what are the benefits of eating kiwi fruit for babies?
