I mean, it's red in the middle. That's not normal for a kiwi. Big fan, never seen these

New to me too. I want to eat one.

I'm imagining kiwi-stawberry, but frankly that's just my animal brain drawing stupidly simple connections.

It tasted pretty much like a yellow kiwifruit, nice and sweet and better to me than the green ones. I was disappointed however that it was still mostly green inside.

Sour kiwis are so much better than the sweet ones.

Most pictures I'm finding online of these look exactly the same. I'm even seeing produce boxes with pictures on the front of the inside of the fruit.

Yeah it's only mildly infuriating if it's false advertising

If that’s the actual name of the fruit, why wouldn’t it be marketed under that name?

I mean it sounds like OP maybe didn't know that. 'sides it sets an expectation that the majority of the interior would be red, rather than the opposite

“Addressed”

But really, why the heck would one want a communist kiwi?

Reddish Kiwi

jopepa@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Then someone would be disappointed that it doesn’t taste like radishes

I should post about "red delicious" apples being red but not delicious

It's attractive, though.

I’d call it butthole kiwi, but that’s probably why I’m not a fruitnamist

Hey, I was going that way too tbf

I think those look sick. Do they taste a bit like strawberries?

It tasted good, but I don't think I would have been able to distinguish the taste from a "golden" kiwi
