Kiwi, also known as the Chinese gooseberry, is a small, oval fruit with a brown, fuzzy exterior and vibrant green flesh. It’s packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting good digestion and boosting immunity. Kiwi is native to China but is now grown in many countries, including New Zealand, which is a major exporter. It’s often eaten raw, though it can also be used in smoothies and desserts. Five popular kiwi varieties include:

Hayward – The most common variety with fuzzy skin and green flesh.
Golden Kiwi – Has smooth, bronze skin and sweeter, yellow flesh.
Baby Kiwi – Small, smooth-skinned, and sweeter than regular kiwi.
Arctic Kiwi – Cold-tolerant variety with small, smooth, and sweeter fruit.
Hardy Kiwi – A smaller, grape-sized kiwi that’s also cold-resistant.
