Could Kiwi Fruit be Fuel of the Future?
What little brown fuzzy fruit is already known for its laxative, blood thinning, and meat tenderizing properties as well as decorating our fruit salads? Yep, the kiwi! I love those little furry fruits and now researchers in New Zealand have added the kiwi fruit to the list as a potential bio-fuel. Two companies are working on ways to turn kiwi-waste into such things as adhesives and bio-plastics as well as a fuel to power cars.
Rock-On little guys. You are good for my tummy and now maybe filling my gas tank some day.
