big dimensions takes its problem with the hormones in which sprinkled the production of the kiwi and many other fruits.
for profit does not calculate the negative effects on health of us but also to the health of its own plants, where there is the fruits that have been sprayed with hormones can not remain in refrigerated gita because it expands too much or the flesh, is immunity, and ginotai too thick. the plants are also those which are struggling too much to grow these great fruits made with cell division and has th effect next year their production can be significantly diminished! about this when I see a whole lot thicker and beautifull FRUIT This is not to say that it is good and qualitatively.
the quality has to do with the taste, aroma, and color in the KIWI, so the next time you buy kiwis Always take care to these three

Καινούριους έρωτες γνωρίζει ή ακτινιδια

Καινούργιους έρωτες γνωρίζει η ακτινιδιά

Περτσιουνης Γεωργιος|  25/09/2015 - 07:20 μμ
Σε νέες περιοχές εξαπλώνεται η καλλιέργεια ακτινιδίων στην Ελλάδα (Μελικη Ημαθιας, Τύρναβος, Αγρίνιο κ.ά.) λόγω κυρίως της υψηλής ζήτησης που έχει το προϊόν παγκοσµίως. Ταυτόχρονα, η καλλιεργούµενη έκταση αυξάνεται και στις βασικές περιοχές της καλλιέργειας (Άρτα, Κατερίνη, Νέστος).
Στον Νέστο βγάζουν τα σπαράγγια για χάρη της, ενώ διευρύνεται η ζήτηση στην παγκόσμια αγορά
Στην Άρτα οι φυτεύσεις έχουν πάρει την ανιούσα από το 2009, όταν σταµάτησε η συνδεδεµένη ενίσχυση για τα κοινά πορτοκάλια (ξινά). Όπως τονίζουν οι παραγωγοί, η καλλιέργεια της ακτινιδιάς, που έχει απόδοση 5 τόνους το στρέµµα, είναι πλέον η πιο κερδοφόρα ανάµεσα στις δενδρώδεις που ευδοκιµούν στην περιοχή (πορτοκάλια, µανταρίνια, ελιές).

Η αύξηση της έκτασης ακτινιδίων από παραγωγούς εσπεριδοειδών παρατηρείται τα τελευταία χρόνια και στην Πιερία, ενώ στον δήµο Νέστου, τον µεγαλύτερο του νοµού Καβάλας, οι παραγωγοί περιορίζουν σηµαντικά την έκταση των σπαραγγιών, που καλλιεργούσαν από το ’88, και φυτεύουν ακτινιδιές. Σε αυτό οδήγησε και το ότι «οι φυτείες σπαραγγιών διαρκούν 8-10 χρόνια, ενώ αυτές των ακτινιδίων διαρκούν περί τα 30 χρόνια», επισηµαίνει ο πρόεδρος του Α.Σ. Νέστου Γιώργος Παναγιωτίδης. Επίσης, όπως υπογραµµίζει, «οι επόµενες φυτεύσεις ακτινιδίων µπορούν να γίνουν διατηρώντας την ίδια εγκατάσταση (κολώνες, σωλήνες, σύρµατα), ενώ οι φυτεύσεις σπαραγγιών πρέπει να γίνονται σε διαφορετικό χωράφι από τις προηγούµενες».

Αν και στις περισσότερες περιοχές οι φυτεύσεις αυξάνονται «µε ανησυχητικό ρυθµό», όπως τονίζουν παράγοντες της αγοράς, σύµφωνα µε τον γενικό διευθυντή της Ε.Α.Σ. Καβάλας Κλέαρχο Σαραντίδη, στην περιοχή «οι φυτεύσεις έχουν σταθεροποιηθεί στα 500 στρέµµατα το χρόνο, µετά το πικ που είχε σηµειωθεί πριν µία πενταετία, µε την καλλιέργεια 5.000-6.000 στρεµµάτων».



Στην αύξηση της καλλιεργούµενης έκτασης έχει οδηγήσει η παγκόσµια ζήτηση για ακτινίδιο, η οποία, µάλιστα, φέτος είναι εντονότερη λόγω και των χαµηλών θερµοκρασιών το χειµώνα, που ευνούν την κατανάλωση του προϊόντος, αλλά και των ζηµιών των ιταλικών ακτινιδίων από το γνωστό βακτήριο, που προσβάλλει την καλλιέργεια, και επέφερε µείωση της παραγωγής  και το ‘13 κατά 40% σε πολλές περιοχές της Ιταλίας.Έτσι, φέτος «οι Ιταλοί αγόρασαν πάνω από 5.000 τόνους ακτινίδια από την Άρτα έναντι 45-46 λεπτών το κιλό, επηρεάζοντας και τους εµπόρους, που αγόραζαν 10 λεπτά φθηνότερα», επισηµαίνει ο διευθυντής του Α. Σ. Άρτας Φιλιππιάδας Λάµπρος Ντοκουµές, ο οποίος τόνισε ότι η µέση τιµή πέρυσι ήταν 25-35 λεπτά το κιλό.

Στην περιοχή του Νέστου, η τιµή που έδιναν οι έµποροι για τα Hayward το Νοέµβριο, στην αρχή της σεζόν, ήταν 35-37 λεπτά, ενώ στην συνέχεια ο Συνεταιρισµός αγόρασε στα 40-45 λεπτά. «Η µέση τιµή που θα πληρωθεί ο παραγωγός αναµένεται να είναι 50 λεπτά το κιλό, εκτός απροόπτου», υπογράµµισε ο κ. Παναγιωτίδης, ο οποίος υπενθύµισε ότι πέρυσι το στήσιµο ήταν στα 48 λεπτά το κιλό.



Απαιτούµενες ενέργειες 
«Πρωτόκολλα συνεργασίας µε τις χώρες της Άπω Ανατολής πρέπει να συνάψει η Ελλάδα για να είναι δυνατές οι εξαγωγές ακτινιδίων, αφού υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον», λέει ο ∆ηµήτρης Μανώσης, πρόεδρος της ΖΕΥΣ Ακτινίδια. Αξίζει να σηµειωθεί ότι σύµφωνα µε ΦΕΚ της 11ης ∆εκ. ‘14, κριτήριο για να αναγνωριστεί µία Ο.Π. οπωροκηπευτικών αποκλειστικά για ακτινίδια είναι να έχει τουλάχιστον 20 µέλη και 250 χιλ. ευρώ ελάχιστη αξία εµπορεύσιµης παραγωγής, ενώ προηγουµένως τα κριτήρια ήταν 300 µέλη και 13 εκατ. ευρώ αντίστοιχα.

Σε καινούριες αγορές στρέφονται οι παραγωγοί 
Στο Κάιρο θα διατίθενται τα ακτινίδια της Κοινοπραξίας Συνεταιρισµών Οµάδων Παραγωγών Ηµαθίας, καθώς έχουν γίνει οι πρώτες παραγγελίες. Όπως είπε στην Agrenda ο αντιπρόεδρος της Κοινοπραξίας, Ευάγγελος Μπαλτζής, «το εµπάργκο ήταν η αφορµή για να βρούµε µία νέα αγορά». Βέβαια, όπως είπε χαρακτηριστικά, «όλες οι ευρωπαϊκές αγορές δε φτάνουν για µία Ρωσία, όπου η Κοινοπραξία διοχέτευε 40.000 τόνους από τους 80.000 που παράγονται στην περιοχή. Στη Ρωσία η κατανάλωση ήταν µεγάλη, καθώς διαφηµίζονται σε µεγάλο βαθµό τα φρούτα και οι ευεργετικές για την υγεία ιδιότητές τους». Αξίζει να σηµειωθεί ότι η χώρα απορροφούσε τα χοντρά ακτινίδια, τα οποία καλύπτουν φέτος το µεγαλύτερο µερίδιο τόσο της ελληνικής όσο και της ιταλικής παραγωγής. «Αρκετές ποσότητες απεγκλωβίστηκαν µε τη δωρεάν διανοµή που χρηµατοδοτήθηκε από την Ε.Ε. έως τις 31 ∆εκεµβρίου για 28.000 τόνους», υπογράµµισε ο κ. Μπαλτζής, ο οποίος τόνισε ότι «η ποσότητα αυτή δεν καλύφθηκε και αναµένουµε τη σχετική ΚΥΑ για την διανοµή άλλων 3.000 τόνων».
Βέβαια, η τιµή παραγωγού για το προϊόν που προορίστηκε για δωρεάν διανοµή ήταν στα 29,69 λεπτά το κιλό.
Παράλληλα, η ΕΑΣ Καβάλας από την επόµενη σεζόν θα ξεκινήσει τις εξαγωγές σε Άπω Ανατολή, Κίνα και Σαγκάη, καθώς έχουν γίνει ήδη οι επαφές, ενώ και ο Α.Σ. Νέστου εξήγαγε φέτος πρώτη φορά στην Κίνα. 

KIWI SUPER FOODS

Health Benefits

Kiwifruit can offer a great deal more than an exotic tropical flair in your fruit salad. These emerald delights contain numerous phytonutrients as well as well known vitamins and minerals that promote your health.

Kiwi's Phytonutrients Protect DNA
In the world of phytonutrient research, kiwifruit has fascinated researchers for its ability to protect DNA in the nucleus of human cells from oxygen-related damage. Researchers are not yet certain which compounds in kiwi give it this protective antioxidant capacity, but they are sure that this healing property is not limited to those nutrients most commonly associated with kiwifruit, including its vitamin C or beta-carotene content. Since kiwi contains a variety of flavonoids and carotenoids that have demonstrated antioxidant activity, these phytonutrients in kiwi may be responsible for this DNA protection.
The protective properties of kiwi have been demonstrated in a study with 6- and 7-year-old children in northern and central Italy. The more kiwi or citrus fruit these children consumed, the less likely they were to have respiratory-related health problems including wheezing, shortness of breath, or night coughing. These same antioxidant protective properties may have been involved in providing protection for these children.

Premier Antioxidant Protection

Kiwifruit emerged from our food ranking system as an excellent source of vitamin C . This nutrient is the primary water-soluble antioxidant in the body, neutralizing free radicals that can cause damage to cells and lead to problems such as inflammation and cancer. In fact, adequate intake of vitamin C has been shown to be helpful in reducing the severity of conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma, and for preventing conditions such as colon cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetic heart disease. And since vitamin C is necessary for the healthy function of the immune system, it may be useful for preventing recurrent ear infections in people who suffer from them. Owing to the multitude of vitamin C's health benefits, it is not surprising that research has shown that consumption of vegetables and fruits high in this nutrient is associated with a reduced risk of death from all causes including heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Fiber for Blood Sugar Control Plus Cardiovascular and Colon Health

Our food ranking system also qualified kiwifruit as a very good source of dietary fiber . The fiber in kiwifruit has also been shown to be useful for a number of conditions. Researchers have found that diets that contain plenty of fiber can reduce high cholesterol levels, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Fiber is also good for binding and removing toxins from the colon, which is helpful for preventing colon cancer. In addition, fiber-rich foods, like kiwifruit, are good for keeping the blood sugar levels of diabetic patients under control.
Kiwifruit also passed our food ranking test as a good source of the mineral potassium.

Protection against Asthma

Eating vitamin C-rich fruit such as kiwi may confer a significant protective effect against respiratory symptoms associated with asthma such as wheezing.
A study published in Thorax that followed over 18,000 children aged 6-7 years living in Central and Northern Italy found that those eating the most citrus and kiwifruit (5-7 servings per week) had 44% less incidence of wheezing compared to children eating the least (less than once a week).Shortness of breath was reduced by 32%, severe wheeze by 41%, night time cough by 27%, chronic cough by 25%, and runny nose by 28%.
Children who had asthma when the study began appeared to benefit the most, and protective effects were evident even among children who ate fruit only once or twice a week.

Protection against Macular Degeneration

Your mother may have told you carrots would keep your eyes bright as a child, but as an adult, it looks like fruit is even more important for keeping your sight. Data reported in a study published in the Archives of Opthamology indicates that eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, by 36%, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.
In this study, which involved over 110,000 women and men, researchers evaluated the effect of study participants' consumption of fruits; vegetables; the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E; and carotenoids on the development of early ARMD or neovascular ARMD, a more severe form of the illness associated with vision loss. Food intake information was collected periodically for up to 18 years for women and 12 years for men. While, surprisingly, intakes of vegetables, antioxidant vitamins and carotenoids were not strongly related to incidence of either form of ARM, fruit intake was definitely protective against the severe form of this vision-destroying disease. Three servings of fruit may sound like a lot to eat each day, but kiwifruit can help you reach this goal. Slice kiwi over your morning cereal, lunch time yogurt or green salads. For a more elegant meal, decorate any fish dish or fruit salad with kiwi slices.

A Delicious Way to Enjoy Cardiovascular Health

Enjoying just a couple of kiwifruit each day may significantly lower your risk for blood clots and reduce the amount of fats (triglycerides) in your blood, therefore helping to protect cardiovascular health.
Unlike aspirin, which also helps to reduce blood clotting but has side effects such as inflammation and bleeding in the intestinal tract, the effects of regular kiwi consumption are all beneficial.Kiwifruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, and polyphenols, and a good source of potassium, all of which may function individually or in concert to protect the blood vessels and heart. In one study, human volunteers who ate 2 to 3 kiwifruit per day for 28 days reduced their platelet aggregation response (potential for blood clot formation) by 18% compared to controls eating no kiwi. In addition, kiwi eaters' triglycerides (blood fats) dropped by 15% compared to controls.

Description

The kiwifruit is a little fruit holding great surprises. The most common species of kiwifruit isActinidia deliciosa , commonly known as Hayward kiwi. Inside of this small, oval-shaped fruit featuring brown fuzzy skin resides a brilliant, semi-translucent emerald green flesh speckled with a few concentrically arranged white veins and small black seeds. Its flesh is almost creamy in consistency with an invigorating taste reminiscent of a mixture of strawberries and bananas, yet with its own unique sweet flavor.
With the growing interest in kiwifruit, other species are now becoming more widely available. These include the hardy kiwi and the silvervine kiwi, two smooth-skinned varieties that are the size of cherries and whose flesh has a golden yellow-green hue.

History

The kiwifruit is a fruit with a very interesting history and whose recent rise in popularity reflects a combination of an appreciation for its taste, nutritional value, unique appearance and, surprisingly, its changing name.
Native to China, kiwifruits were originally known as Yang Tao. They were brought to New Zealand from China by missionaries in the early 20th century with the first commercial plantings occurring several decades later. In 1960, they were renamed Chinese Gooseberries.
In 1961, Chinese Gooseberries made their first appearance at a restaurant in the United States and were subsequently "discovered" by an American produce distributor who felt that the US market would be very receptive to this uniquely exotic fruit. She initiated the import of these fruits into the United States in 1962, but to meet what was felt to be burgeoning demand, changed its name from Chinese Gooseberry to kiwifruit, in honor of the native bird of New Zealand, the kiwi, whose brown fuzzy coat resembled the skin of this unique fruit. Currently, Italy, New Zealand, Chile, France, Japan and the United States are among the leading commercial producers of kiwifruit.

How to Select and Store

When selecting kiwifruits, hold them between your thumb and forefinger and gently apply pressure;those that have the sweetest taste will yield gently to pressure. Avoid those that are very soft, shriveled or have bruised or damp spots. As size is not related to the fruit's quality, choose a kiwifruit based upon your personal preference or recipe need. Kiwifruits are usually available throughout most of the year.
If kiwifruits do not yield when you gently apply pressure with your thumb and forefinger, they are not yet ready to be consumed since they will not have reached the peak of their sweetness.Kiwifruits can be left to ripen for a few days to a week at room temperature, away from exposure to sunlight or heat. Placing the fruits in a paper bag with an apple, banana or pear will help to speed their ripening process. Ripe kiwifruits can be stored either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. For the most antioxidants, consume fully ripened kiwifruit.

Tips for Preparing and Cooking

Tips for Preparing Kiwifruit

Kiwifruits are so delicious that they can be eaten as is. They can be peeled with a paring knife and then sliced or you can cut them in half and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. You can also enjoy the skins which are very thin like a Bosc pear and are full of nutrients and fiber; the peachlike fuzz can be rubbed off before eating.
Kiwifruits should not be eaten too long after cutting since they contain enzymes (actinic and bromic acids) that act as a food tenderizer, with the ability to further tenderize the kiwifruit itself and make it overly soft. Consequently, if you are adding kiwifruit to fruit salad, you should do so at the last minute so as to prevent the other fruits from becoming too soggy.
While sliced kiwi fruit may soften other fruits when combined in fruit salad, a study published in the June 2006 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has found that minimal processing of kiwi and other fruits—cutting, packaging and chilling—does not significantly affect their nutritional content even after 6, and up to 9, days.
Researchers cut up kiwi fruit, pineapples, mangoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, and strawberries.The freshly cut fruits were then rinsed in water, dried, packaged in clamshells (not gastight) and stored at 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
After 6 days, losses in vitamin C were less than 5% in mango, strawberry, and watermelon pieces, 10% in pineapple pieces, 12% in kiwifruit slices, and 25% in cantaloupe cubes.
No losses in carotenoids were found in kiwifruit slices and watermelon cubes. Pineapples lost 25%, followed by 10-15% in cantaloupe, mango, and strawberry pieces.
No significant losses in phenolic phytonutrients were found in any of the fresh-cut fruit products.
"Contrary to expectations, it was clear that minimal processing had almost no effect on the main antioxidant constituents. The changes in nutrient antioxidants observed during nine days at five degrees Celsius would not significantly affect the nutrient quality of fresh cut fruit. In general, fresh-cut fruits visually spoil before any significant nutrient loss occurs," wrote lead researcher Maria Gil.
In practical terms, this means that you can prepare a large bowl of fruit salad on the weekend, store it in the refrigerator, and enjoy it all week, receiving almost all the nutritional benefits of just prepared fruit salad. To ensure kiwi fruit does not "tenderize" the other fruits in your salad, store sliced kiwi in a separate air-tight container and add to the rest of the fruit salad just before serving

Catalan project harvests unwanted fruit and veg for people in need

Barcelona-based Espigoladors sends volunteers into the fields to pick leftover produce for distribution to the vulnerable and unemployed

Misshapen potatoes. Lumpy lemons. A butternut squash that’s curved in all the wrong places. These are the rejects of the food chain – the produce that rarely makes it to consumers, weeded out for cosmetic reasons.
However, a project in Spain is embracing these rejects, diverting them from the bin and, instead, putting them on plates.
“We created this project to give dignity to those using leftover produce,” says Mireia Barba, one of the three co-founders of Barcelona-based Espigoladors.
For the past year, the project has been in touch with farmers across the north-east region of Catalonia, offering to send volunteers to pick produce that has been left in the fields for reasons of aesthetics, ripeness or low sales.
The volunteers are recruited through social services, often people who are out of work or struggling to make ends meet. Espigoladors sends groups of 10-20 people to farms where they spend a few hours collecting leftover produce. They can take home as much as they like. The remaining produce is taken to community kitchens.
“People email us and tell us that they’re out of work and in a vulnerable situation. They don’t want to go to a church or a food bank – they come to us,” says Barba.
About 30 producers and distributors have signed up to the Espigoladors project. They call with as little as 24 hours’ notice when they have leftovers to be harvested. These donations usually start at about 200kg, says Barba.
Rebeca Segura called Espigoladors last month. Her group, Desos, a cooperative that runs organic farms in Sant Boi de Llobregat, near Barcelona, had been left with about 50kg of radishes after a client rejected them. “They weren’t round and perfect,” says Segura.
Initially, Desos had tried to get rid of the radishes on their own. “We handed them out to our family, friends, anyone who would take them,” Segura says. “But, eventually, you get to a point when everyone you know has their fridge filled and it seems like there’s no alternative but to let them go to waste.”
If the team from Espigoladors hadn’t come to pick the radishes, they would have been left in the ground, says Segura, echoing a conundrum familiar to many producers who point to cost and effort as barriers to donating leftover produce. “It would take hours of work to harvest them. Probably, we wouldn’t have even bothered, we would have just left them in the ground to rot.”
In Spain, about 7.7 million tonnes of produce – roughly 163kg per person – are thrown away each year, says Barba. In its first year, Espigoladors has managed to recover about 70,000kg of produce.
Central to the ethos of Espigoladors is a desire to build a bridge between producers, who say they have no alternative to the bin for leftover produce, and the many families in Spain who are reeling from the economic crisis.
The project was inspired by a friend’s tale of nightly rummaging through the bin of a grocery store. “She was unemployed and had two children and this store was throwing out produce that consumers didn’t want, even though it was in perfect condition,” says Barba.
Job creation is another aim. A small percentage of the produce collected is set aside to be made into soups, jams and juices, which are sold under the brand Es Im-perfect (it’s imperfect).

“The name is a declaration of our intention,” says Barba. “It’s a brand that aims to provide value to leftover, imperfect and ugly food.”
Es Im-perfect employs three people and has plans to expand operations in the coming year. Its products are sold across Catalonia, with profits being funnelled back into Espigoladors to cover expenses such as transportation costs.
Underpinning much of the work of Espigoladors is the push to detangle aesthetics from the idea of what is edible. Barba and her team often hold workshops for various groups and children, passing around photos of three-headed lemons and potatoes shaped like hearts. “Children find it hilarious,” she says. “They’ve never seen anything like it, because all of the products in the supermarket look the same.”
The project operates around Barcelona, but is expanding to other areas of Catalonia. The organisers hope the idea will spread across Spain as an antidote to the huge amount of food that is being wasted. “At times, we’re collecting a tonne in a morning.”

Sometimes fruits have their humor ...

Σε ανοδική τροχιά η παραγωγή ακτινιδίου στην Ελλάδα

Σε ανοδική τροχιά η παραγωγή
ακτινιδίου στην Ελλάδα



Σε ανοδική τροχιά κινείται από το 2007 η παραγωγή του ακτινιδίου στη χώρα μας και εκτιμάται πως στην επόμενη διετία ενδέχεται να "σκαρφαλώσει" στην τρίτη θέση της παγκόσμιας κατάταξης (από την τέταρτη στην οποία βρίσκεται σήμερα).
Το ακτινίδιο, που εξασφαλίζει ένα καλό εισόδημα για τον οικογενειακό προϋπολογισμό, όπως λένε οι ίδιοι οι παραγωγοί, παρουσιάζει ανθεκτικότητα σε αντίξοες συνθήκες και διεισδύει με ολοένα και ταχύτερους ρυθμούς σε νέες αγορές.
Μπορεί δε, πολλοί παραγωγοί να περιμένουν την κοινοτική χρηματοδότηση προκειμένου να καλύψουν τα "σπασμένα" του ρώσικου εμπάργκο, αλλά το ελληνικό ακτινίδιο απέδειξε ότι μπορεί να βρει διέξοδο.
"Συνολικά στέλναμε στη Ρωσία 230.000 τόνους ακτινίδια και πέρυσι ποσοστό άνω του 70% από τη συνολική αυτή ποσότητα διοχετεύτηκε σε άλλες αγορές, παλιές και νέες" δήλωσαν στο ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ ο ειδικός σύμβουλος του Συνδέσμου Ελληνικών Επιχειρήσεων Εξαγωγής Διακίνησης Φρούτων Λαχανικών και Χυμών "INCOFRUIT-HELLAS", Γιώργος Πολυχρονάκης και η γενική διευθύντρια της Ζευς Ακτινίδια ΑΕ, Χριστίνα Μανώση.
