Kiwi (Hayward Green)

Product Overview:
The Hayward Green Kiwi is the world's most popular variety, celebrated for its long shelf life and consistent flavor profile. Sourced from orchards where they are harvested at peak maturity, these kiwis feature a unique texture—a succulent, melting green flesh dotted with tiny, edible black seeds that provide a subtle crunch. Known for its refreshing acidity, the Hayward variety is the ideal palate cleanser. Whether sliced into stars for a fruit tart or scooped directly from the skin for a quick snack, it provides a bright, tropical burst of energy.

Key Features:

Vibrant Emerald Flesh: Selected for a deep green interior that remains bright and appealing even after slicing.

Balanced Tangy-Sweet Flavor: Offers a refreshing acidity that perfectly complements sweeter fruits like bananas or grapes.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every fruit is hand-inspected for a consistent fuzzy texture and a firm, unblemished skin. We ensure the fruit has a slight "give" when pressed gently, indicating it is reaching its peak juicy stage (SQA Checked).

Edible Nutrient-Rich Seeds: The tiny black seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and add a delightful texture to every bite.
