kiwifruits

Green-fleshed oval berries

Kiwifruits are small oval fruits with fuzzy brown skin and bright green flesh dotted with tiny black seeds.

The taste is sweet-tart.

Native to China but named for New Zealand's kiwi bird after commercial cultivation there, they're often called simply kiwis: I sliced a kiwifruit for the fruit salad.
