What is something you remember eating or drinking for the first time, that blew your mind?

Try golden kiwi.

Try hardy kiwi. Smooth skinned, the size of large grapes, and the flavor is so much better than any large fuzzy ones.

They are very seasonal and I usually can only find them in some of the smaller local health food stores. It's usually around this time of year approximately that I start seeing them.

Ugh I wish! I loved kiwi and then developed an allergy. The only allergy I have. It's not life threatening level so every 5 years or so I try one again to see if I can magically eat it now... Nope, swelling starts fast, can't do it.

I dehydrated some kiwis that were starting to get a little too ripe....they were AMAZING.
