-3. The source of kiwifruit:

Kiwi English actually means Kiwi in Cantonese translation, not to mention what the fruit itself looks like. I believe that seeing the word "exotic" has already attracted the bottle.

1962, a company run by an American lady named Frida Kaplan (now called Frida Company) began to import kiwifruit from New Zealand at the request of customers. Because Americans were not familiar with kiwifruit at that time, the first batch of 65,438+0,000 kiwifruits took Kaplan several months to sell out. Some fruit merchants suggested that Kaplan name the fruit with kiwi birds unique to New Zealand, because kiwi birds also have furry feathers like kiwi fruit, and the colors are not far apart. Kiwi is a flightless bird with short tail and wings. It is so precious that it can only be seen in the secluded jungle of New Zealand, so it has become the national bird of New Zealand. Kiwi is proud of New Zealanders. They also call themselves Kiwi. So Kaplan told this idea to growers in New Zealand. Of course, they are very happy, so they named it Kiwi, which sounds like a fruit originating in New Zealand. Others think that this name was first used in the 1950s.
