Characteristics

Kiwis have fuzzy brown peels, green, yellow or red flesh and small black seeds.
Select kiwi that are a little firm and have fuzzy skin without soft spots.
Kiwis that are firm will be sour, so let them ripen at room temperature for 3-5 days before eating.
1 cup of fresh kiwi contains:
- 273% of your recommended daily value of vitamin C to support a health immune system.
- 89% of your recommended daily value of vitamin K to help with recovery from injuries.

Prepare

You can eat the peel of kiwis, but you should wash before eating. If you don't want to eat the peel, remove it with a peeler or knife before eating.
