A kiwifruit, or Chinese gooseberry, with its fuzzy, brown skin sliced open to show its light-green flesh, white core, and black seeds. May be associated with New Zealand, whose residents are nicknamed Kiwis, after the bird. The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit is oval, about the size of a large hen's egg (5–8 cm (2.0–3.1 in) in length and 4.5–5.5 cm (1.8–2.2 in) in diameter). It has a thin, hair-like, fibrous, sour-but-edible light brown skin and light green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. The fruit has a soft texture with a sweet and unique flavour. China produced 50% of the world total of kiwifruit in 2017.
