The exterior of the fruit is more vibrant than a common kiwi fruit, the color of deep, dusty, maroon with hints of purple and brown. The skin, a less than protective peel to its flesh, is a bright and deep maroon, with a sweet-tart flesh studded with black micro seeds and a barely opaque cream center.

Ethnic/Cultural Info
Kiwi fruits were originally known as yang tao or Chinese gooseberry. It was not until the 1950’s that renaming was suggested as a means to boost sales on the international market. The first renaming, melonette by kiwi importer Ziel & Co of San Francis, proved to be a marketing flop as the kiwi fruit had no similarities to melon. In 1962 the fruit was renamed once again, this time as kiwi, an homage to the fruits homeland and after New Zealand’s national symbol, the kiwi bird, which resembles in shape and color the appearance of the fruit.

種族/文化信息

獼猴桃最初被稱為楊桃或中國醋栗。直到20世紀(jì)50年代，才有人建議將更名作為促進(jìn)國際市場(chǎng)銷售的一種手段。第一次改名是由圣弗朗西斯的獼猴桃進(jìn)口商齊爾公司（Ziel&Co）命名的melonette，但由于獼猴桃與甜瓜沒有相似之處，因此在市場(chǎng)上失敗了。1962年，這種水果再次更名為獼猴桃，這一次是對(duì)水果家園的致敬，以新西蘭的國家象征獼猴桃鳥命名，獼猴桃鳥的形狀和顏色與水果的外觀相似。
