<h1>Whole kiwifruit offers greatest nutrition; seeds add omega-3, vitamin E, protein and fiber-skin nearly doubles fiber</h1> An industry group's press release emphasizes that kiwifruit seeds, though modest in quantity, contain trace omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and protein and contribute to overall fiber and digestive benefits when consumed with the fruit; the fruit's actinidin enzyme aids protein breakdown and eating the skin nearly doubles fiber intake. The release notes seeds can be used to cultivate vines but require a lengthy, variable three-to-five-year process before fruiting, and concludes that the whole kiwifruit delivers the greatest nutritional value while seeds still add supplemental benefits.
