How to Buy Kiwi Fruit in Florida thumbnail
Kiwi can be purchased throughout Florida, but only during certain times of the year.

The kiwi is an oblong fruit that features a sweetly tart flavor identified by its neon-green interior. Purchasing kiwi fruit in Florida can be done through a number of methods. Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Standard Grocery Store

    • Standard grocery stores with a produce/fruit section will sell kiwi fruit by the pound. Kiwi is not available year-round, as it is a seasonal fruit. Chain grocery stores may not have the freshest kiwi available. However, if the store has an organic section, the kiwi may be fresher than other groceries.

    Farmers Markets

    • Farmers markets are held weekly or monthly in various cities and towns throughout Florida. These markets provide fresh fruits and vegetables to the public direct from farmers. Kiwi can be purchased at farmers markets directly from growers or distributors for fresher taste and higher quality than store-bought kiwi. Florida Agriculture features a list of all community farmers markets within Florida.

    Best Time to Buy

    • Kiwi requires a long resting or chilling period during winter months. The California Rare Fruit Growers Association states that kiwi requires up to 800 hours of winter rest to produce high-quality fruit. The best time of year to buy kiwi is November through May, according to Seasonal Recipes.
