• Red kiwis distinguish themselves from common kiwis in color, texture, and flavor. The red Passion kiwi has smooth, hairless paper-thin skin. The yellow-red flesh is dotted with the usual edible black seeds. Its flavors are sweet and tropical with notes of pineapple and mango. The unique red color is typically surrounding the white core.

• You can use red kiwis in both sweet and savory preparations. Gold kiwis bring a tropical flavor to salads and cocktails. Red kiwis pair well with acidic and creamy fruits alike such as passion fruits and bananas, bright herbs such as mint, nuts, and mild fruits such as apples and cucumbers.

• Store unripe and ripened kiwifruit at 32–35 degrees Fahrenheit. Once kiwifruit is ripe and yields to the touch, it should be refrigerated until ready for use. Do not store kiwifruit near other ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas which can trigger further ripening.
