How to eat a kiwifuit.

Lol Yes, that certainly would make eating a kiwi much easier! :0) Enjoy!!

Or try cutting the kiwi directly in half. Then you have a little cup to hold while you scoop out the yummies with your spoon. Either way, glad you're not trying to peel them anymore!

OMG....I would have never in a million years thought of that! I always peel it too...and lose half of it in the process! WOW!! Thanks! :)

Well...dang, I lost out on a blog post! LOL I've always eaten 'em that way. ;) Welcome to the non-peeling club!

Awesome! I'll go out and get me some now.

okay-that is so awesome.
now-what is the best way to eat a mango?? :)

well....I've always just sliced them and eaten them fur and all! hey btw...who knew you were another denby pottery gal! I mixed and match the blue red and red green...love it!

That is, of course, the Kiwi way of eating Kiwifruit :-)

I never ever peeled a kiwi! I always cut it in half and eat it like you showed us. It's funny to read this - but now I think there will be lots of people that are peeling their kiwis...
It's really funny! Thank you Ali!

i DO appreciate useful blog posts like this becuase I DO hate to peel kiwis...i end up peeling more that i eat. must go buy kiwi immediately and try this.

now doesn't that just give me a 'DOH' moment? Been peeling 'em all my life. Royal pain. Thanks for the tip. (Chris was right re: bloggin' it. Thanks Chris.)

AH-HA!
I love kiwi's and stopped buying them because they were such a PITA to peel.
I think there is going to be a rush on Kiwi's this weekend...
Thanks for the share!

Using a grapefuit spoon with the serrated tip (much like a KFC spork) works great too! I have one just for that use.

well, that just goes to prove that Chris will be a good person for his new job. Solving problems and sharing the news with others. Way to go Chris and Ali

I learned the same thing in Japan last month - except, I cut them in half and eat them with a grapefruit spoon. In Japan my host family ate them with a small spoon, similar to a demitasse spoon. Glad we're not trying to peel them anymore.

Here in Australia (and NZ I think) kiwis sometimes come with a little serrated plastic dooley for just this purpose, so you can eat them on the run. Environmentally unsound but very handy!

This is making me giggle... you see I am a Kiwi girl (that is I live in New Zealand) and we eat them like that all the time.. love them!!!

Awesome!

In my recent travels to the US there were many conversations about the use of the word Kiwi.
Now, where I come from, (NZ, via Australia) that kiwi at the top of the page is always called a Kiwifruit (one word) a Kiwi is either a flightless bird with a flippin long beak that lays eggs bigger than any other bird its size... or a person who hails from the fair shores of NZ.
SO, when the title "how to eat a kiwi" came up in my bloglines feeds I was a little concerned...
Phew. All is well...
As you were!

Wow! I always peeled and got upset at the fruit that I would inadvertantly cut away while trying to *only* get the peel. This is a much better way. Thanks!

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?
