Kiwi Red - 1 Piece

Italy

To ripen, hold fruit at room temperature in a loosely closed paper bag, for two to three days and avoid unusual heat and direct sunlight. Once kiwifruit is ripe and yields to the touch, it should be refrigerated until ready for use.

Kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C, having ten times more than the equal weight of a lemon. Two fruits have almost twice the vitamin C of an orange and more potassium than a comparable serving of bananas. High in fiber, it also offers vitamin A, Vitamin E, calcium and iron. Credit goes to all those little black seeds, as they act much like grains, providing lots of nutrition.

1 piece, loose in paper bag.

The red variety is the result of a natural breeding cross which took place in 2007. The first fruit from the cultivar were produced in 2009 and were identified with superior characteristics required for successful commercialization, including a strong red colored center, sweet taste and good texture.
