🥝 Kiwifruit

Actinidia deliciosa

A small fruit with fuzzy brown skin and bright green inside dotted with tiny black seeds.

Oval and about the size of an egg, brown and fuzzy outside, green and juicy inside.

Sweet and a little tangy, soft and juicy, with tiny seeds that crunch a little.

Packed with vitamin C, even more than an orange, to help keep you healthy.

Cut it in half and scoop the green part with a spoon, or peel and slice it into rounds.

Grows on climbing vines in mild sunny places; the fuzzy fruit hangs down like little eggs.

Available much of the year, with a big crop in late fall and winter.

This fruit came from China long ago and became famous when it was grown in New Zealand.

The kiwifruit was named after the kiwi, a small brown fuzzy bird from New Zealand.

The green skin is edible after a wash, but many people prefer to scoop out the soft inside.
