When eating kiwi, best advice is to make sure they are ripe. Soft to the touch, yet not mushy, and no dark spots on the outer skin. Ever tried eating a hard kiwi? Blech. Talk about bitter!! Peel them close, or eat the skin (where a lot of the fiber is contained), as long as they are ripe, it is all good!

To ripen a kiwi, put it in a paper bag. Add an apple to the bag to aid in the ripening process. Hubby has done this “add an apple” trick to avocados, bananas as well as kiwis to ripen them. The apple gives off ethylene which ripen other fruits. You can store a kiwi in the fridge for up to 4 months and it will not ripen (as long as it isn’t near something giving off ethylene), so grab some when they are on sale, and save the kiwis for a delicious recipe… such as this Kiwi Rum Quencher!!

As always, drink responsibly and please don’t drink and drive.
