Italy is the major producer today of Kiwifruit, and Chile is another major producer.

When kiwifruit is added to gelatin, the enzyme can interfere with the gelling process, resulting in a soupy mixture instead of a firm gel. To use kiwifruit in gelatin desserts, it’s best to cook or puree the fruit first, as heat deactivates the enzyme.
