What it is
These are fresh green kiwifruits from Zespri, a well-known producer of the fruit. They are typically oval-shaped with fuzzy brown skin and vibrant green flesh speckled with tiny black seeds. The flesh has a bright, slightly tart flavor with a hint of sweetness. Each fruit is about the size of a large egg and is often sold in packs of six.
How people cook with it
Kiwifruit can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a variety of dishes.
- Sliced in fruit salads
- Blended into smoothies

- In fruit tarts
To enjoy, simply slice the kiwifruit in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Alternatively, you can peel the fuzzy skin with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler. The fruit can be eaten fresh, added to fruit salads, or used as a topping for desserts and breakfast items. It pairs well with other fruits and dairy products. For smoothies, simply add the peeled fruit to your blender with other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Green kiwifruit are known for their bright, tangy flavor profile, which is more tart than their golden counterparts. The texture is also generally firmer. This tartness makes them a refreshing addition to dishes where a bit of acidity is desired.

How to keep the rest
Store unripe kiwifruit at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure. Once ripe, they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week to slow down the ripening process. Keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas if you want them to ripen more slowly.
