Certified Organic Frozen Kiwis from Japan (Cracked Skin) (1kg)
Please note that although this product itself does not contain the certified JAS logo, rest assured it contains 100% organic JAS-certified kiwis.
When frozen, organic whole kiwis expand and which causes the outer skin to wrinkle or crack. Note there may also be some soil on the skin, but rest assured there are no quality or safety issues.
One full 1kg (2.2lbs) bag of fresh frozen all-natural kiwis from Japan. Organically grown in Usuki, located in the southern part of Oita Prefecture. Freshly picked kiwis are typically hard and tart, so these are frozen after about 2-3 weeks of ripening for maximum sweetness. Absolutely no use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides. When grown in such a natural environment, the kiwis are nourished by a wide variety of natural plants and other microorganisms, resulting in kiwis that are full of minerals.
We highly recommend defrosting the kiwis under running water for about 30 seconds to get the desired degree of softness, as they are fairly hard right out of the freezer. After rinsing to defrost, the skin is easier to peel off and a knife slides through it with ease. Defrosted kiwi has a sweeter taste to it and half-defrosted is the best state for a delicious mixture of sweet and sour. We recommend half-defrosting if you want to eat the kiwi as it is, as the texture changes by letting it defrost completely. Eat as is or add to your smoothie or yogurt. Rest assured the kiwi skin is safe to eat as well.

To ensure that the trees do not exceed their natural capacity for sustainable production, organic matter is used as compost, which is naturally converted into soil. The pollen needed to grow the kiwis is harvested directly from the surrounding flowers (not store-bought pollen!) to keep the production as environmental-friendly as possible. The farm is in a beautiful and natural location surrounded by mountains and the sea. See images of the actual farm and farmers below.
