This vine fruit has brown fuzzy skin covering soft, emerald green flesh that is dotted with edible black seeds. The flavor is tangy and sweet, described as a blend of banana, pineapple and strawberry. Kiwifruit is one of the best sources of vitamin C, folic acid and calcium. The skin is edible once the fuzz is rubbed off, but most people peel them. Our kiwis arrive firm. They can be ripened in 24 hours if placed in a plastic bag with other fruit, such as an apple slice. A ripe kiwi will yield to pressure but not feel soft or mushy. Cover and refrigerate ripe fruit for up to two weeks.
