I love Kiwis. If I could, I would plant a Kiwi vine right in my backyard.

Ripe Kiwis, when you cut them in half and spoon out that sweet green fruit from the fuzzy brown skin,

definitely my favorite.

But most kiwi are being grown in places like Italy, France, and New Zealand,

places that don't have the bitter cold winters that we have here in New England. But, and this is something that I'm almost

positive you did not know, there are 50 species of kiwi, including some from Siberia, but the ones that can handle the cold, you can't buy them in stores, at least for now.

But the people who do know about them seem to love them.

Our instructor was saying, yeah, these are kiwis.

I was like, oh my God, kiwis.

I've never seen anything like that and popped one in my mouth.

And it was just, you just wonder like, how can you be on a planet for three decades? and no one just ever tell you that there's something like that out there?

It was really upsetting.

Because it's not like you can go in a market and buy them.

This is Yago Hale.

He's at the University of New Hampshire,

and he's trying to bring these new Kiwis to the state.

And these Kiwis, you probably wouldn't even recognize them as kiwis.

They're tiny and the skin is hairless and edible.

So what would you call them?

I personally like Wii-weis, just because, you know,

but I've been told by our

Patent office that that's not an acceptable name.
