	Kiwifruit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The kiwifruit is the edible fruit of a cultivar group of the woody vine Actinidia deliciosa and hybrids between this and other species in the genus Actinidia.
		The texture of the fruit is soft and the flavour is sometimes described as a mix of strawberry, banana, and pineapple.
		Raw kiwifruit is also rich in the protein-dissolving enzyme actinidin, (in the same family of thiol proteases as papain), which is commercially useful as a meat tenderizer but can be an allergen for some individuals.
