We received kiwifruit in our veg box this week, which reminded me of this article from Thats Life magazine about a woman who ate kiwifruit to combat antibodies that can cause miscarriage instead of taking the asprin she is allergic to. It gives me hope because not only did she conceive four times in her 40s, but her successful pregnancy was at the age of 43.
As a kid, growing up in New Zealand, chinese gooseberries (as we knew them in the 70s) were really common.

I remember visiting friends working as fruit pickers at the orchards in Te Puke showing me the sorting shed which was quite an introduction into mass processing and where any fruit too small or funny shaped were available to the workers to take home with them for free. Cue kiwifruit in every meal on that trip.
Yum.
Zespri, the New Zealand kiwifruit export marketing board, has information on the nutritional benefits of kiwifruit which turn out to be quite the powerhouse - and some interesting recipes which I might try.

I'm not too sure about those golden kiwifruit though, I'm sure those didn't exist when I was growing up...
