▲New Zealand Rubyred Kiwi
First grown in China and a nutritional powerhouse, the furry little kiwifruit is full of surprises!
Prized for its tangy flavour and emerald-green flesh, kiwifruit (actinidia deliciosa) is a Chinese native called ‘yang tao‘, also known as ‘Chinese gooseberry’ in English. Yang tao seeds were brought to New Zealand in the early 20th century where they were commercially grown and called ‘kiwifruit’, the name that would be adopted officially by international trade in 1974. Today kiwifruit is grown all over the world.

這種毛茸茸的小獼猴桃最初生長在中國，是一種營養(yǎng)豐富的水果，充滿了驚喜！
獼猴桃（美味獼猴桃）以其濃郁的味道和翠綠的果肉而聞名，是中國本土的一種水果，名為“洋桃”，在英語中也被稱為“中華獼猴桃”。楊桃種子于20世紀初被帶到新西蘭，在那里被商業(yè)化種植，并被稱為“獼猴桃”，這一名稱于1974年被國際貿(mào)易正式采用。如今，獼猴桃在世界各地都有種植。

Buying
The kiwifruit looks like a small, brown, furry egg and is available throughout the year. Select fruit that gives a little but is also firm and heavy for its size. Avoid fruit that is soft, wrinkled or bruised.
購買
獼猴桃看起來像一個棕色的小皮蛋，全年都有售。選擇一種水果，它能提供一點營養(yǎng)，但就其大小而言，它又結實又重。避免吃柔軟、起皺或碰傷的水果。

Storage
For maximum storage life, store kiwifruit alone. Fruits such as apples and bananas produce ethylene gas that can hasten ripening. Ripe kiwifruit can be stored in the fridge for up to seven days.
保管部
為了延長獼猴桃的儲存壽命，請單獨儲存。蘋果和香蕉等水果會產(chǎn)生乙烯氣體，加速成熟。成熟的獼猴桃可以在冰箱里儲存長達七天。
Preparation
You can cut kiwifruit in half crossways and scoop out the fruit with a spoon or peel and cut kiwifruit as necessary (see How to peel a kiwifruit). When pureeing kiwifruit, stop processing before crushing the seeds, which are slightly bitter. Take care when combining kiwifruit with dairy as an enzyme in the fruit can cause curdling, and avoid using kiwifruit with gelatine as the same enzyme can prevent it from setting.
準備工作
你可以把獼猴桃切成兩半，然后用勺子舀出水果，或者根據(jù)需要去皮（見如何去皮獼猴桃）。將獼猴桃搗成泥時，在壓碎種子之前停止加工，因為種子有點苦。將獼猴桃與乳制品混合時要小心，因為水果中的酶會導致凝結，避免將獼猴桃與明膠混合使用，因為同樣的酶可以防止它凝結。
Nutrition
Botanically the kiwifruit is a berry and highly nutritious. Kiwifruit is a rich source of vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants. It also contains vitamin E, potassium, magnesium and folate. Kiwifruit has a low-to-moderate glycemic index, providing longer-lasting energy.
營養(yǎng)
從植物學上講，獼猴桃是一種漿果，營養(yǎng)豐富。獼猴桃富含維生素C、纖維和抗氧化劑。它還含有維生素E、鉀、鎂和葉酸。獼猴桃的血糖指數(shù)低至中等，提供更持久的能量。
Varieties
Green kiwifruit is the most popular. The dull green-brown skin is covered in short, stiff hair. Underneath is bright green flesh and a small white centre surrounded by rows of small, black, edible seeds. The flavour is sometimes described as a mix of strawberry, banana and pineapple.

品種
綠色獼猴桃最受歡迎。暗綠色的棕色皮膚上覆蓋著短而硬的頭發(fā)。下面是亮綠色的果肉和一個白色的小中心，周圍是一排排黑色的可食用種子。這種味道有時被描述為草莓、香蕉和菠蘿的混合。
Gold kiwifruit was developed in the 1980s. It looks similar to the green but has a smoother (almost hair-free), bronze skin and a pointed cap at one end. The distinctive golden yellow flesh is less tart with a more tropical flavour (a hint of mango) than green kiwifruit.
金獼猴桃是在20世紀80年代開發(fā)的。它看起來與綠色相似，但有更光滑（幾乎無毛）的青銅色皮膚和一端的尖帽。獨特的金黃色果肉比綠色獼猴桃不那么酸，更有熱帶風味
