Kiwi Juice

Kiwi juice is the liquid extracted from kiwifruit, a small, oval fruit with fuzzy brown skin and bright green flesh dotted with tiny black seeds. The juice is typically made by washing, pureeing, and then pressing the fruit to separate the liquid from the pulp and skin.

Manufacturers add kiwi juice primarily for its distinct tart and sweet flavor, which complements other fruits and ingredients. It is commonly found in beverages like kombucha, fruit juices, and nectars, as well as in some canned fruit products and dressings.

Kiwi juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains vitamins and antioxidants, but no specific health benefits or risks are associated with its consumption at typical intake levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated kiwi and its components, but no specific evaluations for kiwi juice as a food additive are widely publicized.
