Baby Kiwis
Imagine my surprise when I saw these funny little guys at Trader Joe's!
The most I could find out was that baby kiwis are grown in New Zealand and are related to regular kiwis. I couldn't find if they are a humanly engineered kiwi hybrid or a naturally occuring fruit that just looks like a miniature kiwi on the inside.
Personally, I like baby kiwis more than their big fuzzy brown cousins. First of all, you can eat the whole thing. Less hassle, no waste. The flavor also seems to be a bit sweeter and more concentrated, and it's easy to eat a handful on the go. They're the size and shape of a large grape, and mango-like in color. I say if you like grapes and kiwis, get to Trader Joe's and find some baby kiwis! $2.19 for a half pint box is a little steep for fruit, but not an unreasonable splurge for exotic fruit.
