KIWIFRUIT, Scientific Name : Fragaria X ananassa
One of the most nutritious fruits, KIWI FRUIT is native to Southern China. Its other name is Chinese Gooseberry. The name Kiwifruit is business-influenced as Chinese Gooseberry is such a long name for a fruit that will be imported from New Zealand and marketed abroad (the US). Kiwi, a flightless bird, of course, is the national bird of New Zealand. Ironically, New Zealand is not the biggest producer of Kiwifruit in the world but the Italians.
