The short answer: A kiwi typically weighs about 70 to 100 grams (2.5 to 3.5 ounces), with most of that being edible flesh.
Kiwi weight by type
Kiwi weight depends on the variety and size, and the thin skin means little is lost. Here are some common types and their typical weights.
| Type (example) | Typical weight |
|---|---|
| Small green kiwi | about 60-75 g (2.1-2.6 oz) |
| Standard green kiwi | about 75-100 g (2.6-3.5 oz) |
| Large green kiwi | about 100-130 g (3.5-4.6 oz) |
| Golden / SunGold kiwi | about 80-120 g (2.8-4.2 oz) |
What affects kiwi weight
- Variety. Green, golden, and baby kiwis differ in size and weight.
- Size grade. Large kiwis can weigh nearly double small ones.
- Skin. The thin fuzzy skin is only a small share of the total weight.
- Ripeness. Ripe kiwis hold their moisture and weigh consistently.
- Water content. Fresh kiwis are heavier than ones that have dried.
- Growing conditions. Climate and care affect fruit size.
