Kiwifruit, or Chinese gooseberry, is the edible berry of several species of woody vines in the genus Actinidia. The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg. It's also full of nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, and potassium. They also have a lot of antioxidants and are a good source of fiber. Their small black seeds are edible, as is the fuzzy brown peel, though many prefer to peel the kiwi before eating it. The bird was called kiwi by the Maori. Later NZers were called Kiwis. Some time around the 1970s the fruit of Actinidia, native to China, but loved in New Zealand, which was until then called chinese gooseberry was renamed kiwifruit as a marketing move. This icon has an impact on me cause i like kiwi fruit it is either gold or green sour and sweet
