What is the best way to peel kiwi fruit?
Slice off both ends of the kiwi fruit using a sharp knife. Hold the kiwi in one hand with one of the cut ends facing towards you. Insert a spoon just under the skin of the kiwi, making sure to keep it as close to the skin as possible to minimize wastage of the flesh. Gently slide the spoon around the kiwi under the skin, rotating the fruit as you go. The skin will separate from the fruit as you slide the spoon around. Once you've worked the spoon all the way around, the kiwi fruit should easily slide out of the skin in one whole piece.
How can I tell if a kiwi fruit is ripe?
A ripe kiwi should yield to slight pressure when you press it gently with your thumb. If it's hard, it's not ripe yet. If it feels mushy or very soft, it's likely overripe. Also, a ripe kiwi will have a slightly wrinkled skin, but not overly so. The skin should also be free of bruises, cuts, or punctures. Ripe kiwi fruit often has a fragrant, sweet, and slightly tangy smell. If it has no smell, it may not be ripe yet. If it has an overly strong or fermented smell, it may be overripe.
