While all other kiwi fruit are cultivars of Actinidia deliciosa, the Golden kiwi is a distinct and independent species, classified as a berry!
Gold kiwis distinguish themselves from common kiwis in color, texture and flavor. The Gold kiwi has bronze toned, smooth, hairless paper-thin skin. The golden flesh is dotted with the trademark edible black seeds. Its flavors are sweet and tropical with notes of pineapple and mango. Its shape is oval, coming to a blunted point at its stem end. The entire Gold kiwi fruit is edible. An ideal choice for that extra something this November! |
