I bought some kiwi at the store the other day. I have never had this before. What do I do with it? Just slice and eat? Should I peel it first? Thanks for any help you can give. :)

My favorite way to eat kiwi is to cut it in half first, and then just use a small spoon to scoop out spoonfuls and eat it. This works best if it is just the right softness, though :) Otherwise peeling is probably easiest I think.

that's how I eat it too...I only peel them if I'm putting them in a dessert or fruit salad

You know, I've never bought a kiwi either. I know I've had kiwi FLAVORED stuff before, but I honestly don't know as I've ever eaten a kiwi itself. I'm sure I have, at a salad bar or something. I do know what they look like, and I know I've seen them sliced. I think they're a pretty fruit when cut, but not with all that funny fur on it!

kiwi can be used in a fruit salad  - kiwi originally brought there by missionaries were brought to New Zealand from China It grows on vines. I always thought it was grown on trees.
My granddaughter loves the kiwi fruit. Myself I can eat them or not. They cost about the same as a candy bar and they are much better for you. I have had them in fruit salads with strawberries. They go together very well.

I love kiwi! I just slice the skin off and eat it. But I make sure not to eat more than one. If I ear more than one at one sitting, my tongue gets all sour, lol. After I cut the skin off I cut it in slices, and then eat it. I love when the store gets fresh ones, and I don't have to paw through mushy ones to find a good one.

Kiwi is our special local product ,we eat it a lot.Kiwis are very delicious only if they are ripe.If the skin is very hard ,you don't eat it ,wait untill the skin get soft.Then you can peel the skin off very esily by your finger.You can also use a spoon,dig a little hole in it,and spoon the flesh out.Remeber don't eat those hard ones,they are not ripe.

Hey there :) Kiwi is great. You wash them and you can slice them up. The easiest way to get the peel off is slice it across the top and bottom and use a spoon to press down between the fruit and the peel, press it till you get to the bottom. The peel should come right off. You can eat plain or you can add to plain or vanilla yogurt, ice cream, or you can add some cream cheese and sugar or splenda together and make a fruit dip. Hope this helps! enjoy!

oh yum! I have not had kiwi in a long time as the prices have gone so high. My children like to eat the peel (washed first) but myself, I enjoy the fruit much more without the rough peel... so I pull it off with the edge of a knife.
