Kiwifruit
The kiwifruit or Chinese gooseberry (sometimes shortened to kiwi) is the edible berry of a woody vine in the genus ''Actinidia''.〔 The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit ('Hayward') is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg ( in length and in diameter). It has a fibrous, dull greenish-brown skin and bright green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture and a sweet but unique flavor, It is a commercial crop in several countries, such as Italy, New Zealand, Chile, Greece, and France.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://faostat.fao.org/site/567/DesktopDefault.aspx?PageID=567 )〕
In New Zealand the word kiwi usually refers to the kiwi bird or the people of New Zealand, so it is seldom used to refer to the fruit.〔
== History ==
(詳細はNew Zealand, where the first commercial plantings occurred.〔 Although cultivars were called by a variety of Chinese names, such as yang tao, meaning "strawberry peach",〔 "Chinese gooseberry" (because of the flavor and color of the flesh) became commonplace as a name among growers in England and New Zealand during the early 20th Century〔 and during World War II when the fruit was popular with American servicemen stationed in New Zealand.〔 The fruit was exported to California using the names "Chinese gooseberry" and "melonette". In 1962, New Zealand growers began calling it "kiwifruit" to give it more market appeal, followed by a California-based importer also using the name, "kiwifruit", to introduce the fruit to the American market.
Kiwifruit has since become a common name for all commercially grown fruit from the genus ''Actinidia''.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Kiwifruit's name )〕
