💡 What's interesting

Kiwifruit itself was originally known as the Chinese gooseberry before being rebranded in New Zealand for export, making this sorbet a delicious example of global agricultural marketing. Nutritionally, it stands out for offering a surprisingly high vitamin C content—often more than oranges—while remaining a light, dairy-free treat.
