The Kiwifruit is, native to China. It first arrived in New Zealand at the turn of the century. It was then better known by the name Chinese Gooseberry. When the time came to export the fruit, to avoid the high taxes charged on berries, the name was changed to the kiwifruit. It was nicknamed kiwifruit because of the shared characteristics with New Zealand's national symbol, the kiwi bird, which is also small, brown, and fuzzy. Kiwis are a nutrient-dense food, meaning that they are high in nutrients and low in calories. The health benefits include being rich in vitamin C, E and A. Show more
