When Eve was vis­it­ing a few weeks ago, she said that someone was tour­ing gro­cery stores in her area teach­ing people how to eat kiwifruit effi­ciently. I expressed some scep­ti­cism that this was neces­sary; she assured me it was. For fun I decided to do a photo shoot of how to cut and eat kiwifruit the way I learned as a child in New Zea­l­and (it also gave me an excuse to play around with host­ing pic­tures on Flickr). So here you have the series, enjoy! I do find that kiwifruit from New Zea­l­and taste bet­ter, the ones from oth­er coun­tries seem to be less intense and juicy. If they’re not ripe when you get them, put them in a paper bag with an apple to ripen. They keep for some time in the fridge but taste bet­ter at room tem­per­at­ure. Once the skin has star­ted to wrinkle, eat without delay as they are on their way to being too soft and squidgy. I have made kiwifruit lem­on­ade for a party which is fun (the green col­our is start­ling to many people) and a good way to use up squidgy kiwifruit.
