Kiwi Northeast
🥝 Northeastern Green Kiwi
Hand-harvested, certified organic, and winter-fresh, these medium-sized (~75 g) green kiwis bring bright citrus-pineapple notes and a sophisticated, balanced acidity to every plate. ✨
What makes them special?
🌱 Grown under farmer-partnerships supported by Nagaland’s horticulture initiatives and sourced directly from farmers, these kiwis are part of a broader surge in high-value kiwifruit cultivation across Nagaland. The state is rapidly scaling kiwifruit acreage and market linkages, with institutional support to improve quality and export potential. 🚀
Taste & texture
Expect a refined balance of sweetness and gentle tartness - less sugary than imported golden kiwis, with a lively citrus-pineapple aroma and bright, slightly acidic finish. 🍍 Texture is pleasantly juicy with a fine-grained bite (not as velvety as golden varieties), making these kiwis perfect for both fresh eating and culinary use. 🍽️
Culinary uses (chef notes)
- 🥗 Slice for plated desserts and salads for visual impact and a bright acidic counterpoint.
- 🥤 Blend into smoothies, chutneys, or a tangy kiwi-chili relish for grilled fish or paneer.
- 🥣 Use as a finishing fruit in breakfast bowls, mocktails, and artisan salads where acidity and aroma matter.
- 🍯 Excellent as an ingredient in fruit-driven sauces (acid + enzymes help tenderize).
