Melon Kiwi Mojjito

The kiwifruit or Chinese gooseberry  is the edible berry of a woody vine in the genus Actinidia. The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit ('Hayward') is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg. It has a fibrous, dull greenish-brown skin and bright green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture and a sweet but unique flavor, It is a commercial crop in several countries, such as Italy, New Zealand, Chile, Greece, and France. Kiwifruit is native to north-central and eastern China. Cultivation of the fuzzy kiwifruit spread from China in the early 20th century to New Zealand, where the first commercial plantings occurrene. 

Kiwifruit is a rich source of vitamin C and vitamin K, and a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin E. Kiwifruit seed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Kiwifruit contains carotenoids, such as provitamin A beta-carotene,lutein and zeaxanthin.
