Digestive Health: Kiwi contains enzymes like actinidin, which can aid in digestion. It's often used to tenderize meat or as a natural meat marinade.
Face Masks and Skincare: Kiwi pulp is sometimes used in homemade face masks and skincare products due to its high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties, which can help brighten and rejuvenate the skin.
