Expert: The feijoa

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 27 May 2019

The humble feijoa, the marmite of the fruit world, New Zelanders have a love hate relationship with it. You either love them or you think they're horrible smelly fruit.

Freelance journalist and writer and Voyager Media Awards' Feature Writer of the Year - 2018 Kate Evans is a big feijoa fan - she grew up in Northland eating feijoas and she loves them so much she's writing a book about how they were discovered in their evolutionary home Brazil.

But she'd like some help to find out when the first feijoas came to New Zealand.
