Make this delicious fruit the star of the show 

<p>Despite being best known as a 'kiwi', this fruit-salad-favourite is actually native to China (it was originally known as the Chinese gooseberry). Cultivation of the fruit spread from China to New Zealand around the early 20th century, and became very popular with British and American servicemen stationed there in the Second World War. Needless to say, the kiwi has proven a real hit in the UK and is, happily for us, widely available for most of the year.</p><p>There are around 50 different varieties which peak at various points throughout the year &ndash; for example, the <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/mango-kiwi-exotic-fruit/asda-extra-special-4-hand-picked-golden-kiwi/910003106330" target="_blank">Golden Kiwi</a>, which has a softer (easier to eat) skin than the <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/mango-kiwi-exotic-fruit/asda-farm-stores-kiwis/910003095377" target="_blank">brown, fuzzy version</a>. It's generally best to buy kiwis betwen November and May, when they're at their peak. If storing them at home (and waiting for them to ripen) use the fridge. Craving some juicy kiwi goodness?
