	Kiwifruit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The texture of the fruit is soft and the flavour is sometimes described as a mix of strawberry, banana, and pineapple.
		The fruit gets its name from a marketing strategy, naming it after the kiwi, the national bird of New Zealand, where the fruit was first commercially popularised in 1959 by the New Zealand fruit-and-vegetable export company Turners and Growers.
		People who tasted the fruit then thought it had a gooseberry flavour and began to call it the Chinese Gooseberry, but being from the actinidia family it is not related to the Grossulariaceae (gooseberry) family.

	Kiwi fruit
		Kiwi fruit blends well with other fruits and makes a striking garnish, but it is also highly satisfying (and nutritious) eaten on its own.
		The kiwi fruit was a much appreciated treat in ancient China, and was introduced into New Zealand in 1906, where it was called the "Chinese gooseberry" (although it isn't related to the green gooseberry).
		Once a kiwi fruit is ripe, however, store it far from other fruits, as it is very sensitive to the ethylene gas they emit, and tends to over ripen even in the refrigerator.

	Fruits: How to select, store and serve these healthy foods - MayoClinic.com
		Fruits contain phytochemicals — a group of compounds that may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.
		For example, oranges and kiwi fruit are good sources of vitamin C. Bananas are a good source of potassium, and apricots are high in vitamin A. So if you rarely venture beyond a few of your favorites, you're missing out on the nutrients and benefits of other fruits.
		Fresh fruit is generally best because it contains the most nutrients, but frozen fruit, fruits canned in their own juice or water, and dried fruit are good alternatives.
