What is that???



When I did the post about Colorful Gnocchis, I realized that not many people knew about the existence of coloured potatoes. After that post, and when I went shopping for groceries at different stores, I realized that I did not know many of the fruits and vegetables in those stores as well. As many of you do, I shop what I know and what I want to cook.



As I'm blessed to live in a multicultural city, with different groceries stores that are associated to different ethnic groups, I'm going to start visiting them (when the good weather allows us.....) to buy fruits and vegetables that I don't know, to post about them here for you to know, and to cook with them if possible......

These are going to be little post in between other recipe posts......



When I posted the Saffron, Almond, Olive Oil Cold Dessert,  we included in the picture some fruit to give  colour and balance. That fruit is call rainbow red kiwi. I don't know about you, but I have no idea about its existence.....


The name is because the center is red, surrounded by  yellow and green. It is high in antioxidants, and anthocyanins. It is commercialized, but not widely available.

 


What we did?......Ate them.....It is sweet, fragrant, and slightly sour. The cost of 3 red kiwis in CD$2 or EU$1.5.....
