Is kiwi allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No. Dr. Al-Awadi excluded this food himself.

Kiwi, not allowed on the Tayyibat diet

Why kiwi is off the list

A double problem. Its hard seeds and rough fibre scratch your gut lining, and its enzyme is strong enough to soften meat commercially.

The detail

Hard seeds and rough fiber abrade the gut lining, and actinidin is a protein-splitting enzyme strong enough to stop gelatin setting and to tenderize meat commercially.

The rule behind the verdict

Meat tenderiser enzyme

Did the doctor say this himself?
