Arctic Kiwi Infused Vinegar Salad

In our continuing quest to bring you new and tasty foods, we bring you a delicious addition to our fruit vinegar range. Arctic Kiwi Vinegar is a delicious blend of the fuzzy kiwifruit that you know and grow, and Arctic Kiwis.  Arctic Kiwis, also known as Grape Kiwis, are grown on the Saanich Peninsula. The fruits, which are about the size of a large grape, aren’t covered with fuzz, and have small seeds. They taste sweeter than fuzzy kiwis and don’t require peeling. They are also higher in Vitamin C than most citrus fruits.
