Kiwifruit is a woody climbing vine native to the Yangtze valley of China, now grown
widely in New Zealand and Italy. Each fruit has a ring of hundreds of tiny black
seeds, which are sieved out of pulp left over from juice and purée making, then 
dried at low heat and cold-pressed. The oil is pale yellow-green with a faint, fresh
smell. It is typically very high in alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid.
