The kiwifruit, often shortened to kiwi in many parts of the
world, is the edible berry of a cultivar group of the woody
vine Actindia deliciosa and hybrids between this and other
species in the genus Actinidia.
The most common cuitivars of kiwifruit are oval, about the
size of a large hen's egg(5–8 cm / 2–3 in long and 4.5–5.5cm
/13⁄4 in diameter). It has a fibrous, dull brown-green skin
and bright green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black,
edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture and a unique flavour,
and today is a commercial crop in several countries, mainly in
Italy. China, and New Zealand.
Also known as the Chinese gooseberry, the fruit was renamed
for export marketing reasons in the l950s; briefly to
melonette, and then by New Zealand exporters to kiwifruit.
This latter name comes from the kiwi — a brown flightless
bird and New Zealand’s national symbol, and also a
colloquial name for the New Zealand people.
