Question: is it kiwi or kiwi fruit?
Answer: The difference between "kiwi" and "kiwifruit" The "kiwi" is not to be confused with "kiwifruit" - the brown furry fruit with the green flesh. ... A "kiwi" is a bird (or a human New Zealander); the fruit should always be called "kiwifruit" (or "Chinese gooseberries").
