This fruit is a natural product, picked when ripe and ready for consumption.
How people cook with it
Kiwi is enjoyed in many ways, both on its own and as part of various dishes.
- Sliced in fruit salads
- Blended into smoothies
- As a topping for yogurt
- Garnishing desserts
To enjoy a kiwi, you can simply cut it in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Alternatively, you can peel the fuzzy skin with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler. Once peeled, the fruit can be sliced into rounds, wedges, or diced. It adds a vibrant color and a refreshing taste to breakfast bowls, parfaits, and fruit platters. It can also be incorporated into marinades, as its enzymes can tenderize meat.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your kiwi fresh, store it at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, place it in the refrigerator in a plastic bag or an airtight container. This will help maintain its quality and prevent it from becoming too soft for a few days.
