Kiwifruit is also known as Chinese Gooseberry, since its packed with too many of health benefits. The main health benefit in kiwi fruit is does not raise the blood sugar level and so it’s good for people with diabetics and it also controls asthma. So I have planned to make something with kiwi, finally concluded with KIWI Muffins, which was yummy. The muffins taste too good and the crunchiness of the seeds have given a wonderful texture to the muffins.
