What's the best way to eat a kiwi?

Question

I never had one before, so I bought one the other day to try it out. Also what's the best way to tell if it's good when you buy it? I'm not a veg., but thought you would know best. Thanks

Answer 1

If it gives just slightly when you press your thumb into it, it is perfect. The best way to peel it to cut off both top and bottom, slide a spoon between the skin and the meat and continue to slide the spoon around the fruit. It will pop right out of it's skin!! Cut the fruit up and eat it. It really doesn't need anything to accompany it, but if you're looking for a dip to go with it, try this one. Room temperature cream cheese mixed with a container of unfrozen cool whip, mix until smooth. Then add some cheery juice form maraschino cherries....ummmm, just wonderful. Enjoy!! :)

Answer 2

Perhaps its best to call it a Kiwi Fruit, as a kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand (endangered) and its what they call a person from New Zealand.

As for the Kiwi Fruit, colour is not a good indicator of ripeness but if its 'gives' a little when you squeeze it its usually OK to eat.

Answer 3

Best Way To Peel Kiwi

Answer 4

Cut off one end of the Kiwi. Use a spoon to separate the skin from the fruit, then scoop the fruit out whole (This is very easy). Then slice it with a knife, and you have pretty peeled kiwi slices. Looks good for serving too.

Answer 6

Peel the skin off and eat it like that. Buy it when it's tender, not too soft! But if you get it a little hard just put some sugar or whip cream on it.

Answer 7

Cut it in half and use a grapefruit spoon to dig out the meat of the fruit. Hope it's nice and ripe, otherwise it could be pretty sour.

Answer 8

Dude, Kiwi picking isn't like picking out a watermelon, just grab a random one and make sure it's not mushy. You don't want it to be too hard either, but hard is better than mushy.

Answer 9

Just like when you buy cantalope you dont want it to be soft or hard as a rock..... then you wanna cut off the outside like you do with a apple or something. They are way better cold.

Answer 10

It should be firm, but not hard. Cut it in half (length ways) and scoop out the fruit from the hairy skin. That is how I do it.
