Description/Taste
Baby Red kiwi fruit are small berries, slightly larger in size and similar in shape to a grape, with a thin fuzz-free, subtly, ridged skin, similar in outward texture to a fig. The exterior of the fruit is more vibrant than a common kiwi fruit, the color of deep, dusty, maroon with hints of purple and brown. The skin, a less than protective peel to its flesh, is a bright and deep maroon, with a sweet-tart flesh studded with black micro seeds and a barely opaque cream center.

Ethnic/Cultural Info
Kiwi fruits were originally known as yang tao or Chinese gooseberry. It was not until the 1950’s that renaming was suggested as a means to boost sales on the international market. The first renaming, melonette by kiwi importer Ziel & Co of San Francis, proved to be a marketing flop as the kiwi fruit had no similarities to melon. In 1962 the fruit was renamed once again, this time as kiwi, an homage to the fruits homeland and after New Zealand’s national symbol, the kiwi bird, which resembles in shape and color the appearance of the fruit.

种族/文化信息
猕猴桃最初被称为杨桃或中国醋栗。直到20世纪50年代，才有人建议将更名作为促进国际市场销售的一种手段。第一次改名是由圣弗朗西斯的猕猴桃进口商齐尔公司（Ziel&Co）命名的melonette，但由于猕猴桃与甜瓜没有相似之处，因此在市场上失败了。1962年，这种水果再次更名为猕猴桃，这一次是对水果家园的致敬，以新西兰的国家象征猕猴桃鸟命名，猕猴桃鸟的形状和颜色与水果的外观相似。
