The correct way to open kiwifruit

The correct way to open kiwifruit is to cut it in half horizontally with a knife, and then scoop out the flesh with a spoon for consumption. This method can prevent the fuzz on the skin from irritating the skin while preserving the intact flesh. The kiwi fruit peel is thin and has small hairs on the surface, which can easily cause damage to the flesh or residual hairs when peeled directly. After cutting horizontally with a knife, the boundary between the flesh and the skin is clear. The spoon can be gently rotated along the inner wall of the skin to completely remove the flesh. For mature kiwifruit, a small amount can be cut off at both ends, and a spoon can be inserted between the skin and flesh to make a circle before pushing out the flesh. If the kiwi fruit is hard, it can be left at room temperature for 1-2 days to soften before processing.

Some people are accustomed to cutting kiwifruit vertically, but the vertical cutting method can easily cause the flesh to be cut into uneven slices, and the part near the fruit stem is difficult to handle. If you need to slice and decorate, you can first cut the flesh horizontally and then change the knife. It should be noted that cut kiwifruit should be consumed or refrigerated as soon as possible to avoid oxidation and discoloration. When choosing kiwifruit, it is best to keep the skin intact and gently pinch it. Immature kiwifruit can be stored in a sealed container with apples or bananas to accelerate ripening. It is recommended to take 1-2 servings per day for daily consumption. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should not eat in large quantities on an empty stomach. Cut kiwifruit can be paired with yogurt, salad, or jam to preserve more vitamin C and dietary fiber.
