I've begun adding a chopped kiwi to my blueberries and yogurt smoothie everyday. Here is a fantastic tip I saw online which makes the peeling quick and easy and even fun.
Cut the ends off the kiwi.
Insert a spoon under the skin and go all the way around.
Pop out the kiwi.

I was once served a kiwi fruit in an egg cup. It had been cut in a zig zag with the point of a sharp knife all the way round and then the top lifted off like the top of a boiled egg. Hard to explain but easy to do. I've never forgotten that breakfast over thirty years ago sitting in a garden on the confluence of two rivers in France.
I don't know if you'll come back to see this, but I'm interested in your 'method.' Do you cut off the tip and spoon it out of the skin or do you eat it skin and all?
When I eat Kiwi, it is usually just the fruit, not chopped up as part of something else like a smoothie. I simply cut off one end and then spoon the kiwi out of the skin like you would eat an egg out of the shell :-)
Librarian (just above) took the words right out of my ... well, fingers I guess. And I did go to lucille's comment and how fun a memory! A good idea to add one to a smoothy too.
That's the way we were taught in New Zealand to manage them! Such a wonderful fruit. I have a smoothie every day as well, for my lunch. Mango and orange juice and yogurt. With cardamom.
I'll answer your comments as soon as I possibly can. Please do come back if you've asked a question. Also, you may comment on any post, no matter how old, and I will see it.
Thanks for the tip! Kiwi are cute :).
ReplyDeleteThey are cute!
DeleteI'm intrigued ...now I will have to buy one and try this... :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of kiwis. I love the taste. And I love it that the ones I buy really come from NZ, and are organic!

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful memory! Thanks so much for telling me. I really love this.
DeleteGood tip. We NZers call ourselves Kiwis -- after our native bird - so I imagined you peeling us! Have a great week. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
ReplyDeleteLove this!
DeleteI used to spend way too much time and effort before I learned this way!
ReplyDeleteCute idea! best... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI love it! I haven't had a kiwi in such a long time and now you've made me want one.
ReplyDeleteI love them, especially with the blueberries in the smoothie. The taste is terrific.
DeleteGreat tip! I need to try this.
ReplyDeleteI delight in it everyday!
DeleteI had just eaten Kiwis using a spoon and never thought about peeling one. That's a great tip, Nan.

DeleteI eat the skin - still easier!
