Kiwi Fruit

[PaulT]

I've got a cold so I thought I would go for some natural vitamin C and eat a few kiwi fruit.

But really they don't make them easy to get into, and when you open one up it is full of black bits.

My best guess is to peel the puppy (tricky) and then remove the very innermost core thing and then just neck the rest. It takes ages, is there a better way without resorting to a juicer?

Yours in desperation

You eat the black bits!

Cut the top off so you end up with it like a hard boiled egg, then use a teaspoon to scoop the middle out

Takes too long to peel and then the good bit (eating) doesn't last long enough

Cut it in half and eat the 2 insides with a teaspoon... I used to eat the skin aswell :S

Ok, top tips, thanks. I didn't know whether you were supposed to eat the very middle core but I guess I will next time

Cut it in half with a knife, grab a spoon and scoop the middle out!

Whats wrong with oranges???? easier to get into and last that bit longer and nooooo black bits. :P

I very rarely eat fruit or veg for that matter ........I munch on vitamin pill ;) s

[JustJJ]

As they said... eat like a hard boiled egg...

When you get a nice one.. they are yummy!

I have been eating oranges, but clementines and satsumas have gone out of season at Waitrose down the road.

Apparently, I heard that somehow the vitamin C in kiwi fruit is somehow more concentrated or otherwise better for you than the vitamin C in oranges. Don't know why.

Going for another kiwi now, will try a spoon this time :D

hhmm kiwis

you ever had one that burns your toungue?

[sotal]

They tingle sometimes but I wouldn't say burn!

They really put you off them when they taste horid though (normally when they're a bit soft)

Keep us informed

[PaulT]

Well I'd say it was a success :D

Sliced the kiwi in half and then scooped out either half with a spoon as recommended above.

Can already feel those vitamin C stormtroopers clubbing the hapless baby cold germs into oblivion

Still can't shake the feeling that you're eating a green te****le, though

Aussies are a bit of an acquired taste though

[Demonic Angel]

I thought a Kiwi was from New Zealand, not Australia?

Am I the only person who eats the skin? Its luverly!! I remember when I was a young kiddie my mum use to cut hers in half and pick all the black bits out with a pin. Used to take her forever! Eat the skin mate so much more quicker!! Hairy but yummy!!

Er, Umm, Quite!

[Calisto]

omg lmao

Im still with the vit pills though, its safer .... no hairy bits, no skin to remove and no black bits.

[Puls]

I take a very sharp knife and slice the skin off, and then slice whats left and eat the slices.

I love the black bits! Crunchy! I haven't had a kiwi in a while :( I need to go visit the local Mexican supermarket. They have good prices on fruits and veggies year round.
