Kiwi Fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)

Kiwi Fruit  (Actinidia deliciosa)

Kiwi actually originated in china and was called the Chinese gooseberry over there. Once New Zealand farmers began farming this fruit on a commercial basis, it got its current name of kiwi. This exotic fruit is also recognized as China's national fruit. It has green creamy flesh and tiny black seeds in the center. It usually has intense flavor and sweetness.

Kiwifruits, or kiwi, is an edible berry about the size of a chicken egg. It features a fuzzy peel that surrounds a green fruit with black seeds and a creamy white center. Kiwis taste slightly sweet and tangy with a creamy texture. It is available year-round in most grocery stores and is often eaten alone or as part of a salad, on fruit tarts or in smoothies.

Kiwi fruits are rich in many Vitamins, flavonoids and minerals. In particular, they contain a high amount of Vitamin C (more than oranges), as much potassium as bananas and a good amount of beta-carotene.
