    In addition to being rich in pectin, kiwi fruit skin can reduce cholesterol in the blood, and also contains 80% of the nutrition of kiwi fruit, so eating its skin is the best choice. One-third of the fiber contained in kiwifruit is pectin, especially the part where the skin and flesh contact. Pectin can lower the concentration of cholesterol in the blood and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
