Baby kiwi apparently have not had time to grow their brown fuzzy jackets; they're naked and green under a thin skin. Turns out, though, that baby kiwi are in fact only a relative of their more grownup namesake.
We found them at Trader Joe's and had to try them. They don't need to be peeled; they can be popped whole, like a berry. They have a sweet, rounded taste without the acidity of a kiwifruit, and a slightly bitter aftertaste from the skin.
What a fun little berry...I wonder if there are any recipes involving it out there?

how much does it cost for that little box?

I saw these at TJ's the other night and they piqued my interest. I might have to try them.

We had these in addition to golden kiwi while we were honeymooning in New Zealand. We thought they were quite tasty. :)

They have these at Harrod's food section in London last year. So good! As I recall they were pricey, but everything in London is pricey, so I didn't really mind. They were delicious! My mom and I talk about them to this day! I'll have to let her know they carry them at TJ's.

These were available at our TJ's but were a bit smaller (about the size of a grape) and were called "Kiwiberries".
And, they're really good. :)
