Curiosity
The kiwifruit (actinidia deliciosa) come from China, where it was called Yang Tao, but was developed by new zealanders.
Introduced to New Zealand by Isabel Fraser in the early 20th century, it was experimented and, later, cultivated on
a large scale.
Firstly known as "chinese gooseberry", the fruit was renamed kiwifruit, after the New Zealand’s national symbol: the
brown and furry kiwi. So far the most widely grown cultivar is "Hayward", developed by Hayward Wright in 1924
(Avondale-New Zealand).
The leading producer country is Italy, followed by New Zealand and Chile.
One hundred gr of kiwifruit contains one and a half times as much as vitamin C as the same quantity of orange,
and more crude fiber than a bowl of corn flakes.
Ripening can be speed up by placing kiwifruit in a plastic bag with a banana or apple.
