While spring may be a season of fresh starts, your reset doesn't have to include a closet cleanout or juice cleanse. Sometimes the easiest upgrade is simply adding something new, fresh and unexpectedly delicious to your plate, and when something as unique and exciting as a red kiwi hits stores, it's the kind of spring discovery you have to try.

With its naturally vibrant ruby-red center and sweet flavor that tastes like a cross between a kiwi and berries, it's quickly becoming one of the most talked-about fruits in the produce aisle. Beyond its striking color, it delivers antioxidant vitamin C along with anthocyanins - the beneficial plant nutrients that naturally give red fruits their signature hue.

Plus, it makes it easy for families to add more whole-fruit nutrition to everyday routines. Naturally sweet and simple to prepare, it's a kid-friendly snack parents can feel good about serving on its own or adding to breakfast bowls, lunchboxes and quick spring recipes.
