Every fall when these little berries show up in our fruit share, I marvel at just how good they are.
Kiwiberries from Kiwiberry Organics, in PA. What amazes me on their web site is the nutritional information for these berries.
Besides their high quantities of vitamins and minerals, they just taste great.
I like just snacking on them or putting them in salads, but I have been tempted to make jam from them. Or to create a berry nectar to freeze and use all winter. The problem I have is keeping enough of them around to do those things.
According to the web site, you can find them at Wegmans, Trader Joes and Whole Foods, but I have never seen them.
We get them three or four times in our CSA fruit share. In fact, we are getting them again this Tuesday.
They supposedly like the weather around here and the farm in PA grows the largest amount in the world, according to their information. I do know we could buy plants and try to grow them ourselves. I may just do that next year. They would be a welcome addition to my garden.
