While grocery shopping - I stumbled upon these KIWI BERRIES also known as Actinidia Arguta - Hardy Kiwi - Baies de Kiwi and I have never seen them before!! My boyfriend and I neither heard or tried them, so we had to buy it plus they were on sale. Even on sale, they were pretty expensive for just a few literally 12 pieces for $2.50 and they're the size of two grapes about! I researched and this fruit has a lot of benefits especially Vitamin C & they're tasty sweet, crunchy!
Some benefits of KIWI BERRIES:
- High level of antioxidants, vitamin C, rich source of vitamin E, folic acid, fiber, potassium and chromium, and so forth.
Have you ever tried this fruit?

And now I want kiwi's.
I've never seen kiwi berries but the picture makes them look just like kiwi's only a tiny bit smaller.
Did they have a different taste than a kiwi does?

No fuzz on this fruit :)
They taste different, not as sweet as a regular kiwi!

@infatuatedbby Yeah I did notice the lack of fuzz. I guess they didn't let the fruit mature into a proper kiwi.

I have tried them and I really liked them. I got them in sale too. They are so expensive and they are not always available. I only see them every now and then.

@infatuatedbby The ones coming from New Zealand are bigger, sweeter but more firm.

Aren't these GOOD 
? I saw them at Sprouts like a few months back (?) as I was curious. My little son loves the regular kiwis . . . so I bought them. When you bite them they do look like mini kiwis on the inside!! My son ended up not liking them, but I sure did. I didn't realize they were so healthy! I haven't seen them in the store since though

So, you'll be buying the kiwi berries more often now that you've known its benefits?

I think there's kiwi fruit in grocery store in our city, but the color is brown, not green as you shown in your photo.
