Trader Joe’s is welcoming the summer season with the arrival of a unique and eye-catching fruit: Zespri Ruby Red Kiwis. The limited-time item, priced at $5.99 for a 1-pound package, has quickly gained attention from fans and food bloggers alike.
Spotted by Instagram user @harvest.joy, the ruby red kiwifruit is praised for its vibrant color and sweet, berry-like flavor. “It’s a limited-time treat—only around from April to June—so grab a pack while you can,” the post warned.
Also known as red kiwifruit, this tropical fruit was originally native to China. It is now cultivated in New Zealand, Italy, and Chile, with Trader Joe’s sourcing its stock from New Zealand. The fruit stands out not only for its bright red center but also for its smooth texture and naturally sweet taste, with some fans comparing the flavor to that of a mild apple.
Online reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. One commenter noted that this variety is one of the few kiwis best kept refrigerated, while others praised its bold appearance and unique taste.
With the warm months approaching and seasonal cravings on the rise, this fresh addition to Trader Joe’s produce section is already generating buzz. Given its short availability and standout flavor, the Ruby Red Kiwi is expected to fly off shelves fast.
