Kiwi Berries + Pluots - Unique Summer Fruit!
We’re excited to have a lot of delicious local fruit available from our partner farms, including a few super unique ones like kiwi berries and pluots!
Though kiwi berries are basically just mini kiwis, the flavor isn't the same — it's complex, sweet, and acidic. A little sweeter, easier to pop in your mouth, and naturally without that annoying fuzzy skin found on the grown-up version, kiwi berries are also packed with vitamin C. We source them from Catoctin Mountain Orchard!
We also source pluots from 78 Acres - they are a hybrid of a plum and an apricot. There's a pleasing sweetness to a pluot that mostly mimics a plum. Dark pinkish pluots have more of a deep sugariness, and the lighter, more yellowish-red fruits mimic golden plums. Unlike a plum the skin isn't bitter; it's more like an apricot in this way.
