Fruit fan? Kiwi berries are about to be your new obsession

They're adorable!

Anna O'Rourke

Just when you think you’ve seen it all.

There’s something about smaller versions of our favourite things that makes us happy – from miniature cross-body bags to miniature dogs, it’s fair to say we love all things tiny.

Now you can even have one of your five-a-day in miniature in the form of kiwi berries.

These dotey little guys are just like the real thing but smaller and with a grape-like skin rather than a regular kiwi’s characteristic fuzz, making them a handy on-the-go snack.

According to Delish, the kiwi berry is nothing new – it’s native to parts of northern Asia and has been grown in the US for over 150 years.

Unfortunately, this Instagram-friendly fruit isn’t too widely available just yet but that’s set to change as major food suppliers aim to capitalise on the world’s current obsession with all things healthy.

Keep an eye out for kiwi berries on menus and in the supermarket – they could be coming to a smoothie bowl near you soon.
