The kiwifruit is a round edible berry, about the size of an egg. It has a fibrous, hairy, brownish-green skin and green or golden flesh with little, black, edible seeds.
It is native to China, but was renamed in the mid-20th century for marketing purposes and received its name from the Kiwi bird of New Zealand.
Kiwifruit is commonly used in salsa, chutney, salads, smoothies, and fresh fruit tarts.
