Ingredients
- 1 kiwi
Instructions
- Spoon Method #1: Cut and remove ¼ to ½ inch from both ends of the kiwi. Then, place a spoon with a relatively sharp edge where the flesh meets the skin. Gently work the spoon into the fruit while rotating the kiwi, keeping the spoon close to the skin. Once fully separated, slice the kiwi into rounds, wedges, strips, or cubes.
- Spoon Method #2: Cut the kiwi in half widthwise, avoiding the stem end. Insert a spoon at the flesh-skin border, gently rotating and working inside the fruit. Scoop out the flesh completely, then slice into your preferred shapes.
- Knife Method: Cut and remove ¼ to ½ inch from both ends of the kiwi. Place the kiwi flat-side down on a cutting board. Using a knife, carefully trim the skin in a downward motion following the curvature, keeping the knife in the flesh to avoid wasting fruit. Rotate and continue until all skin is removed. Finally, slice the kiwi into rounds, wedges, strips, or cubes as desired.
Notes
- Choose a ripe kiwi for easier peeling and sweeter flavor.
- A spoon with a sharper edge helps in smoothly separating the flesh from the skin.
- Be careful when using a knife to avoid cutting yourself; a small serrated knife can make peeling easier.
- Use sliced kiwi fresh for best taste and texture; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
