Back home, I only knew about green kiwifruits. Fuzzy ones, the size of a couple of golf balls.
I found gold kiwifruits here. They are as big as a good-sized apple, and have a pointy bit on one end. They aren't fuzzy. The flesh is yellow, sweeter, and less acidic, almost papaya-like.
They're a hybrid, developed exclusively in New Zealand over a laborious 11-year process. (Now that's devotion to your fruit salad...How many companies can you think of that spend 11 years on R&D for a single product??)
They cost about ten cents apiece.

Dearest Daughter, I can't wait to taste them! New Zealand, here I come! (not sure when, exactly, but I'm coming). I have grandchild hunger. Love, Mom
$0.10? Not fair.
How exciting! I like to hear about exotic new plants and foods!
