Kiwi was brought from China to New Zealand during the early 20th
century by the missionaries. Kiwi fruit is known as the Chinese
gooseberry. It is an edible berry. It is oval in shape with brown, hairy
cover. It is green in color with black, edible seeds rowed in the
center.
There are over 400 varieties of this fuzzy fruit, which grows off of
vines on a trellis, much like grapes are cultivated. It is a very
healthy fruit with dense nutritional value. It contains a high amount of
antioxidants, flavonoids, and phytonutrients.
