Kiwifruit seeds were introduced into New Zealand from China in the 1st quarter of the 1900s. Its botanic name was Actinidia deliciosa, and several varieties have been produced, the Hayward variety being the most common. Since then a gold variety and a red variety ahve been introduced into commerce.

Originally known as Chinese Gooseberries, they were re-named kiwifruit for international marketing purposes.

Why cant you add kiwifruit to gelatin?

Kiwifruit contains an enzyme called actinidin, which breaks down proteins and prevents gelatin from setting properly. When kiwifruit is added to gelatin, the enzyme can interfere with the gelling process, resulting in a soupy mixture instead of a firm gel. To use kiwifruit in gelatin desserts, it’s best to cook or puree the fruit first, as heat deactivates the enzyme.
