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 fruit is native to southern China. The most common cultivars of kiwifruit are oval, about the size of a large hen's egg (5-8 cm / 2-3 in. long and 4.5-5.5 cm / 1¾-2 in. diameter). It has a fibrous, dull green-brown skin and bright green or golden flesh with rows of small, black, edible seeds. The texture of the fruit is soft and the flavour might be similar to a grapefruit, or maybe even a passionfruit. In North America, South America and Europe, most people refer to the fruit simply as kiwi, which is in fact the name of an indigenous New Zealand bird. The fruit was named after the bird because of the similar appearance
