Cut the fruit vertically into two halves. From here, either cut the halves into slices, or scoop out the two fleshy halves with a tablespoon. The skin is not eaten.

Consumption

Kiwi tastes deliciously out of hand. Furthermore the fresh fruit is great when added into cakes or salads. Slices of kiwi are also a beautiful decorative garnish.

When to eat

Kiwis should be slightly firm but should not be soft and mushy. Keep ripe kiwis at a cool and dark place.
