Mighties Kiwi Fruit
What it is
This is a package of fresh kiwi fruit. Kiwi, also known as Chinese gooseberry, is a fuzzy brown fruit with bright green flesh and tiny black seeds. It has a unique sweet and tangy flavor profile. The fruit is typically oval-shaped and about the size of a large egg. Each fruit is individually wrapped for freshness.
How people cook with it
Kiwi is a versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many ways. It adds a burst of flavor and color to both sweet and savory dishes.
- Fresh fruit salads
- Smoothie additions
- Dessert toppings
- Marinades for meat
To prepare kiwi, simply slice off the ends and then peel away the fuzzy skin with a paring knife or a spoon. The flesh can then be sliced, diced, or scooped out. It is often eaten raw, but can also be incorporated into cooked dishes. When using kiwi in gelatin-based desserts, it is best to cook it first, as the enzymes in raw kiwi can prevent gelatin from setting. The seeds are edible and add a slight crunch.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other common fruits, kiwi offers a distinct tropical flavor that is both sweet and tart. Its vibrant green flesh and tiny black seeds make it visually appealing. The fuzzy skin is a unique characteristic that sets it apart from smoother-skinned fruits.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining kiwi fruit at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to maintain freshness for up to a week. Avoid washing the fruit until you are ready to consume it. Keep them away from other fruits that produce ethylene gas, as this can speed up ripening.
