Did you know?

Golden kiwi was developed by Zespri the New Zealand kiwi cooperative in the 1990s through selective breeding of Chinese kiwi varieties. It was released commercially in 1998 and took approximately a decade to breed from initial discovery to commercial release. The gold flesh comes from lower levels of chlorophyll than green kiwi. Golden kiwi is slightly sweeter and less acidic than green kiwi because it has a different sugar to acid ratio — making it potentially more palatable to some dogs.
