What's in a kiwi? (gold and green)

[MOTH]

I have discovered that the green kind of kiwi don't make me feel good at all, even if they are especially ripe. Strange considering when I first went raw, I couldn't get ENOUGH of them. Stranger still that these days I ADORE GOLDEN KIWI. I can eat 10 of them in a sitting, no problem...but only the golden kind.

What's up with the green kiwi? After living on the golden ones for a few weeks (freaking delicious) I had two green ones earlier and immediantly noticed that I didn't feel well.

You got me there......I didn't know there was a Gold Kiwi. I do know the riper they get the color changes a little.

My grandmother is allergic to all kinds of kiwi, green, gold or purple. Also, the woman who introduced kiwis to the U.S. market (I forget her name) is allergic to kiwi, too.
