About Kiwis
« on: June 03, 2020, 09:00:34 am »
Don't want to peel?  Try a gold kiwi.  Its edible skin is less fuzzy than a green kiwi's.  And the yellow flesh--it holds a smaller core and fewer seeds--is sweeter.

Gold kiwis have nearly twice as much Vitamin C as green kiwis.  Greens have more Vitamin K.  So mix it up!

Gold kiwis are easiest to find from May to November.

Keep your eyes peeled for kiwi berries.  They pop up for a short time in fall or winter.  The grape sized fruit has smooth edible skin and kiwi-like flesh.

I didn't even know about either gold kiwis or kiwi berries.  Did you?

I think you can eat the skin on any of them.  Although I think eating the fuzzy peel would be weird.  I tried kiwi once but did not like it.  I did not know there were different varieties.  Do they taste a lot different?

Never heard of a kiwi berry.  That may only be available in certain areas.  I would probably try that if I saw them.

Kind of like watermelon.  Don't they have a yellow watermelon? Seems I have seen that before.  But I have never tried that either.  Walmart had watermelon last time I was there but they were all pretty small.

Good info, I didn't know about gold kiwis.   I get the green ones and peel off the skin eat or use in a smoothie.  I may try to find a gold one just to check it out.
