Never Insist Kiwi Fruit Is From New Zealand

Source: https://medicalnewstoday.com

Funnily enough, people also assume that native New Zealanders are called “kiwis” because of the kiwi fruit, but as we established earlier, it has nothing to do with the fruit. What many don’t realize is that the kiwi fruit isn’t even from New Zealand. It is actually from the Yangtze River Valley, which is located in the Zhejiang Province in China. Much like any other fruit, the seeds were most probably brought over years before and grown in New Zealand, but its origins are still Chinese in nature.
