Oh, baby! These tiny kiwifruits may just be the cutest thing to hit the produce section in a while. They’re actually a cousin to the typical kiwi and are referred to as kiwi berry or hardy kiwi. Lacking kiwi’s fuzzy brown skin, the baby kiwifruits are entirely edible and about the size of a grape. They’re just as sweet or sweeter than the larger kiwi and sport those same crunchy black seeds. Baby kiwis are the October pick of the month at Schnucks, so look for them next time you peruse the produce section.
