Today I tried kiwi for the first time. First I was excited because it felt like I was eating a fruit from some alien planet. I've never been to an alien planet. Of course, kiwifruit originated in China, and I've never been there either. Anyway, when I tasted that tangy sweet sensation I was in heaven. My favorite part of the fruit was the part with the seeds. I loved the texture with a very slight crunch to it. It was better than strawberries. If you haven't tried kiwi, you must.
Since I had never sliced a kiwi, I watched this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHDYDN8Q45k. It's a great video if you're like me and you need someone to help you do something as simple as cut a kiwi. Plus, the guy explaining has a voice so soothing, you kind of wish he was your grandpa.
The type of kiwifruit I tried was the Hayward variety, the most common variety of kiwi. It was first developed by a New Zealand horticulturist named Hayward Wright. But an interesting fact is that kiwifruit actually arrived in the United States in 1904, two years before it arrived in New Zealand. Another fact is that kiwifruits are filled with vitamin C and powerful antioxidants. So the girl who lost weight is going to start eating three of them a day during the the next two months as part of her weight loss challenge.
