Kiwi lovers will prize this succulently sweet and juicy kiwi which was introduced to the U.S. in 1999 from New Zealand. Golden Kiwi is a product of natural plant breeding, with a smooth skin, free of brown fuzzy hair. The Golden Kiwi has jewel-like seeds, as with traditional green kiwis, and a glowing golden flesh. They have a thin, tender, edible skin of a sun-kissed bronze color. Golden Kiwis can be enjoyed in any number of ways: in fruit salads, as snacks, in smoothies, in desserts and so much more. Peel and cut kiwis into pieces or eat whole like an apple. The Golden Kiwi's fresh, vibrant look and sweet taste will enhance any fruit salad or entrée.
Seasonality: Available June - August
Selection & Storage: Golden Kiwi ripens at room temperature and is best eaten when slightly soft. When refrigerated unripe, Golden Kiwi will keep for ten days to a month.
