Kiwifruit
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is a fruit. It has an oval shape, and is green on the inside with a furry brown skin.
The fruit was named in 1959 after the kiwi, a bird and symbol of New Zealand. Before that, its English name was Chinese gooseberry.
It is healthy, containing many vitamins and minerals.
There are different types of kiwifruit. The main types are hayward (the most common green kiwifruit), chico, saanichton 12, and golden kiwifruit. Golden kiwifruit is sweeter than normal green kiwifruit. Golden kiwifruit was invented by grafting and cross-polinating different types of kiwifruit.
