The organic certification indicates that the fruit was grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, adhering to specific agricultural standards. This package contains approximately 454 grams of fruit, typically yielding several individual kiwis.
How people cook with it
Kiwi fruit can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a variety of dishes.
- Sliced in fruit salads
- Blended into smoothies
- Used as a topping for yogurt
- Added to savory marinades
To prepare kiwi, gently wash the exterior. You can peel the fuzzy skin with a paring knife or a vegetable peeler, or you can slice the kiwi in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The flesh can then be eaten directly, sliced into rounds or wedges, or diced. For marinades, the enzymes in kiwi can help tenderize meat, but it's best to use it for a short period to avoid over-tenderizing. It also adds a bright, tropical note to desserts and breakfast items.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other fruits, kiwi offers a distinct combination of tartness and sweetness. Its texture is soft and juicy, with edible seeds that add a slight crunch. The vibrant green color is also visually appealing and sets it apart from many other common fruits.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a flavorful and versatile fruit to add to their meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
To store the remaining kiwi fruit, keep them at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, they can be refrigerated in a plastic bag or container for up to a week to slow down the ripening process and maintain freshness. Avoid washing them until just before use.
