Kiwi berry season is underway at Domex Superfresh Growers, Yakima, Wash.
The harvest started Sept. 12 in the Umpqua River Valley and the berries will be in stores soon, according to a news release.
Catherine Gipe-Stewart, communications manager, suggests that consumers wait until “the berry is a bit squishy and soft, even if they look a bit wrinkly,” according to the release.
The kiwi berries work well on top of salads, in Asian dishes and as snacks, she said.
“Kiwi berries are a nutritional powerhouse, high in vitamin C, K, and E, as well as rich in potassium, magnesium, and fiber,” Gipe-Stewart said in the release.
