Did you know?

Kiwifruit contains actinidin — a protease enzyme similar to the papain in papaya and bromelain in pineapple. This enzyme breaks down proteins making kiwi an effective meat tenderizer. The same enzyme makes fresh kiwi incompatible with gelatin desserts — actinidin prevents gelatin from setting. Frozen kiwi has reduced actinidin activity because freezing partially denatures the enzyme. This does not significantly affect kiwi's nutritional value for dogs.
