Kiwifruit

Varieties

We’re sold by the colour of our flesh, not variety.

Green Kiwifruit

We’re the original type of kiwifruit and the one that you see the most often. We look a bit different from other fruits because we have fuzzy brown skin on the outside. But when you cut us open, you'll find something really cool inside.

Inside the kiwifruit, the part that you eat is called the flesh. The flesh is bright green! When you take a bite of a kiwifruit, you'll notice that it has a slightly tangy taste. That means it's a little bit sour but in a nice way.

Now, here's something really interesting about kiwifruit. If you look at the centre of the fruit, where the flesh is, you'll see a special pattern. The small black edible seeds are arranged in a star shape.

Gold Kiwifruit

Gold kiwifruit is a newer and sweeter variety of the kiwifruit family.  It has golden-yellow flesh and a honey-like flavour.  It has fewer seeds and thinner smoother skin that is less hairy than other kiwifruit.  They also taste best when eaten a bit firmer.

Red Kiwifruit

Red kiwifruit is a special kind of kiwifruit that has a surprising colour inside. When you cut it open, instead of seeing green, you'll find a vibrant reddish centre colour and a pinkish-toned flesh that looks really cool! It's like a delicious, sweet surprise waiting for you. The taste is similar to the regular green kiwifruit, but it has a slightly different flavour that most people really love.

Choosing Kiwifruit 

Select those of us who are plump, large and oval with undamaged skin. We are ripe and ready to eat when we feel just soft when gently pressed.
