How to eat a kiwifuit.

It really is the only way to do it!! although I often don't cut off the bottom....just the top and then dig the insides out as I stand over the sink!

I too am a kiwi and had a giggle that people would peel the kiwifruit...and like Sarah mentioned we eat with a serated plastic tool that allows you to slice the top off and then scoop it out and eat it ....let me know if you wanted one and I would be most happy to send both you and Jeffrey one lol....

I wish I knew you when I was little...I was staying the night at a girlfriends house and her mom served us whole kiwi fruit. Just the fruit by the way...no spoon or anything. So I had never seen one befor and so naturally I take a bite. Lets just say it was HIGHLY uncomfortable. Them little pricklers stuck to my toungue for seamed like ages. Totally did NOT do that again! With this post...you just saved someone from pure irritating discomfort! tfs -Karla

Gee! I didn't know people still tried to peel kiwis! LOL I just cut in half, so DD has two halfs to scoop out - you don't waste any that way.

... and for Tara, my mum used to prepare mango by cutting in half, removing the stone and then slicing the flesh in each half diagonally both ways and inverting the fruit (pushing the skin side inwards) so the flesh stands up like a hedgehog. Well, it's easier to do than to explain LOL How do others do it?

We eat the kiwis with a spoon, a mocha size spoon, much easier than peeling! Our favourite kiwi is the golden kiwi, so sweet and yummy!

oh wow. always do the peely-thing. i have 3 just waiting for me upstairs now...

Dang! :) I never thought of that before, and I *love* kiwis! :) Thanks for sharing!

Damn!

I cut mine in half and eat each half by scooping out the fruit with a spoon. Works for me!

...also the best way to eat an avocado!

aw, thanks ali, now me and that little green quirky fruit will be back on speaking terms now... ;)

Wow!

If you forgo the cutting of the bottom you can hold it in your hand and have a portable treat :)

Cool tip, thanks. It was a hoot chatting with you at Scrapper's Bliss the other night and oh, I have that same silverware pattern as well! Small world!

Save yourself a lot of time and just eat the peel! I was very sceptical when a girlfriend suggested this to me, but it's great. Cut it up and go for it!!

What a flashback! I worked in a Produce dept. of a grocery store for 14 years...they showed us once how to do this...yes it truly is much easier to eat them this way.

I cut mine in half too!
But if I am making a little fruit salad I peel the skin off with my potatoe peeler. It takes no time at all and I don't waste any kiwi fruit.
