Also known as hardy kiwifruit. Closely related to the Gooseberry and similar in appearance, the flesh of the kiwiberry looks much like a regular kiwifruit with small black seeds and an emerald green colour. Fruit size is much smaller and hang in bunches. Self-pollinating. The fruit are delicious, very sweet with a hint of tart, and taste like kiwi fruit but without the rough hairy outer skin. You can eat the entire fruit fresh from the vine - or pop it in a smoothie, chop it into a fruit salad or include it on a cheese and fruit platter. It’s also ideal to dehydrate and eat as a dried fruit or to use in preserves.
