Kiwi fruit (Actinidia deliciosa)
The story of Kiwis began in the Yang-tse river valley in China, 700 years ago where it was called “Yangtoo”. In 1904, plant cuttings were brought to the United States , then in 1906 to New Zealand where it was renamed “ Chinese Gooseberry”.

The name took a further twist, when, in 1960, New Zealand’s “Chinese Gooseberry” variety was first shipped to the United States where it was renamed Kiwifruit, after New Zealand’s national bird, the “kiwi”.

Today, kiwifruit is not very widely dried as its colour retention properties are lost when they are dried naturally. They are currently dried , just as the Pineapple and Papaya are, with sulphur and sugar and are sliced or diced. Some varieties are also dried with some colour retention but they are not produced in commercial quantities.
