How to eat kiwifruit more conveniently

The most convenient way to eat kiwifruit is to peel it and eat it directly or cut it into pieces and mix it with yogurt. The main ways of consuming kiwifruit include half digging, slicing and serving, juicing and drinking, making jam, and pairing with salad.

1. Half digging

Cut the mature kiwifruit horizontally in half and use a spoon to rotate along the inner wall of the skin to scoop out the flesh. This method can avoid skin irritation caused by fuzz and is suitable for direct consumption as a postprandial fruit. Choose Microsoft fruits that do not collapse, and the taste is best when the flesh is bright green.

2. Slicing and plating

Use a peeler to remove the skin and cut it into thin slices, which can be paired with other fruits to make a platter. It is recommended to maintain a slice thickness of about 3 millimeters, which can display the jade like flesh color and facilitate feeding with a fork. Note that fruit slices that have undergone oxidation and discoloration can be preserved by pouring a small amount of lemon juice.

3. Juice and drink

Peel and cut, mix with bananas, apples, etc. to extract juice, which can retain rich vitamin C and dietary fiber. It is recommended to dilute with 30% cold water to avoid the juice becoming too thick. Freshly squeezed fruit juice should be consumed within 20 minutes to prevent loss of nutrients.

4. Making jam

Crush the soft and ripe kiwi fruit, add rock sugar and boil it to make a sweet and sour jam. Add 100 grams of sugar to every 500 grams of fruit pulp and simmer over low heat until viscous. After bottling and refrigeration, spreading bread or pairing with cheese can preserve for about two weeks.

5. Paired with Salad

Cut kiwi and mix with protein ingredients such as shrimp and chicken breast to make a salad. The sour and sweet taste can neutralize greasiness. It is recommended to mix in 10 minutes before consumption to avoid fruit acids causing the green leafy vegetables to soften. Paired with crushed nuts can enhance the crispy texture.

Consuming 1-2 medium-sized kiwi fruits daily can meet the demand for vitamin C, and consuming them on an empty stomach may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. Surface fuzz may cause allergies, gloves can be worn during handling. Immature fruits can be stored in a sealed container with apples to ripen. Once softened, they should be consumed as soon as possible to avoid spoilage. Choose fruits with intact skin and slight elasticity when pressed for freshness, and refrigerated storage should not exceed 5 days. Special groups such as those with excessive gastric acid should control their intake, and diabetes patients should pay attention to fructose content.
