Kiwifruit

The virus affecting kiwifruit is known as the Kiwi virus, specifically the Kiwi yellowing virus (KYV) and the Kiwifruit vine decline (KVD) virus, among others. These viruses can lead to significant declines in fruit quality and yield, posing a threat to kiwifruit production. Effective management strategies are crucial to mitigate their impact on orchards.

The ideal temperature for storing kiwi is between 32°F to 35°F (0°C to 1.5°C) in the refrigerator. If kiwi is left at room temperature, it should be kept in a cool, dry place and consumed within a few days. Once ripe, kiwi can be refrigerated to extend its shelf life. To speed up ripening, keep kiwi at room temperature until they reach the desired softness.

Kiwi sinks in water because it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink; since kiwis have a higher density due to their solid structure and moisture content, they displace less water than their weight. As a result, they sink rather than float.

Kiwifruit and dragon fruit share several similarities, including their vibrant colors and unique textures. Both fruits are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, contributing to their health benefits. They are also low in calories, making them popular choices for healthy diets. Additionally, both kiwifruit and dragon fruit have a sweet, refreshing flavor that makes them appealing in a variety of culinary applications.

Kiwi boot polish was originally made by combining natural ingredients like waxes, oils, and pigments to create a protective and shining substance for leather. The key components included beeswax or carnauba wax for shine and protection, along with colored dyes to match various leather shades. The mixture is heated and blended to achieve a smooth consistency before being cooled and packaged. Over time, the formulation has evolved, incorporating synthetic ingredients for improved performance and ease of application.

Kiwi leaves can turn white due to a fungal infection, particularly powdery mildew, which thrives in warm, dry conditions. This disease manifests as a white, powdery coating on the leaves, leading to stress and reduced photosynthesis. Additionally, excessive exposure to sunlight or nutrient deficiencies can also cause leaf discoloration. Proper care, including adequate spacing for air circulation and appropriate watering, can help prevent this issue.

Kiwis survive and thrive in the wild through their unique adaptations and behaviors. As nocturnal birds, they have excellent senses of smell and touch, allowing them to forage for insects, worms, and fruits in the forest floor's leaf litter. Their strong legs enable them to navigate through dense vegetation, while their cryptic brown plumage provides camouflage against predators. Additionally, kiwis are territorial and monogamous, ensuring stable breeding pairs and the protection of their nesting sites.

Yes, kiwi fruits can sometimes be bitter due to a variety of factors such as the fruit being underripe or overripe, environmental conditions during growth, or the specific variety of kiwi. Bitterness in kiwi fruit is often associated with higher levels of certain compounds like actinidin and tannins. To reduce the chances of encountering a bitter kiwi, it is recommended to choose fruits that are ripe but not overly soft, as well as storing them properly to maintain their quality.

The number of kiwis in one pound can vary depending on the size of the kiwis. On average, there are about 4-5 kiwis in a pound. This estimate is based on the typical weight of a kiwi, which is around 4-5 ounces. Keep in mind that this number may fluctuate slightly due to variations in the size and weight of individual kiwis.

No, just sour and fuzzy

They wont hurt you. but they are not real apetising

Kiwi fruits are commercially grown in New Zealand and belong to the Actindiaceae family.Its generic name is Actinidithia chinesis /Actinidia deliciosa

Kiwi fruits are hairy to keep the outside of the fruit good, while the inside is being developed. It helps protect insects from eating the inside because the hairs will stick to their legs causing them to try to detach themselves, which means they'll fly away forgettng what they were doing in the first place. The hairy coating is very rich in flavoniod antioxidants, which are very high in dietary fiber, causing them to have a mild laxative effect.

yes they grow in tropical jungles.

Kiwifruit is native to central China.
People say that kiwi fruit comes from New Zealand, but its not. Kiwi fruit actually comes from China, and was actually called Chinese goose berry, but china decided to give the kiwifruit to New Zealand, which is now a traditional fruit to us New Zealanders.

Mine really enjoy pomegranate seeds. I'd hesitate to feed whole without further research - while the rind traditionally has been used medicinally for humans, considering the amounts horses could consume I'd want reassurance that the amount of tannins etc. would be ok. But the part we normally eat, no problem.

(Prior answer claimed horses only eat apples - they enjoy, and can safely consume, a wider variety of fruits than just apples, though those are the most traditional offering.)

When the Chinese Gooseberry industry was becoming established in New Zealand the name was changed to kiwifruit possibly because of their likeness colourwise to the native bird.
