Being a relative to the common fuzzy kiwifruit, Baby Red kiwi is a fast growing, perennial vine in mountainous, forested regions. These fruits are small berries, slightly larger in size and similar in shape to a grape, with a thin fuzz-free, subtly, ridged skin, similar in outward texture to a fig. In addition, they have a sweet-tart flesh studded with black micro seeds. Furthermore, Baby Red kiwis offer similar nutritional benefits as the common kiwis, only in higher amounts. For example, they offer a significant amount of vitamin C as well as some potassium, folate, and dietary fiber. Additionally, they contain carotenoids and anthocyanins which act as antioxidants in the body. Baby Red kiwis also contain the protein dissolving enzyme actinidin.
