Passion Poppers

I’ll admit it: Sometimes kiwis languish in my refrigerator because I’m too damn lazy to peel them. It’s pretty pathetic. But apparently there are other lazy Americans who can’t be bothered to remove the fuzzy skin either because there’s a product for us. Pennsylvania-based Kiwi Berry Organics distributes two miniature, fuzz-free cousins to the kiwi we all know (and sometimes put in the effort to love). The ones I tried, Passion Poppers, were small, sweet and smooth, the result of fourteen years worth of breeding. Given the length of development, you would think they could have come up with a name that sounds better than a gay club drug (the other cultivar Aloha Annas makes it sound like they’re in on the joke), but I guess I can’t complain about a company that spends their time on organic product development over marketing. In any case, the kiwi berry season lasts about as long as club romance so don’t sleep on it. Sometimes you gotta work for your sloth.
