Cute and Craveable Kiwi Berries At Peak Season

Buyer Brian Keogh Shares Ripening Tips

Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, sweet and tangy organic kiwi berries are the perfect, poppable snack for eaters of all ages. Resembling a standard-size kiwi, but more similar to a kumquat in scale, this perennial vine is native to Japan, Korea, Northern China and far-east Russia. 

The smooth, fuzz-free skin of kiwi berries ranges in color from an overall bright green, to green with a ruddy blush and is entirely edible. Kiwi berry’s sweet, green flesh resembles that of standard kiwi, including the small black seeds that lend a satisfying crunch. 

Shoppers experiencing kiwi berries for the first time should be advised to wait for the fruit to ripen before eating. Once the fruit gives slightly to a gentle squeeze, it’s time to enjoy! 

Perfectly happy to be stored at room temperature, their shelf-life can be extended by storing them in the fridge once they’ve ripened. Smoothie fans can also pop ripe kiwi berries into the freezer to add a nutrient-dense punch to their favorite blended beverage. 

Packed into cheery Ladybug Brand clams, these kiwi berries look great on the shelf and even better on eater’s plates. Kiwi berry season will come and go before you know it, so don’t miss this special crop!
