Here is how to peel a kiwi the easy way: slice off both ends, slide a spoon between the skin and fruit and spin. In a couple of minutes you have a whole peeled kiwi for snacking, yogurt or smoothies, and chilling it first makes it even easier.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 kiwi

Instructions

Set the kiwi on a cutting board and cut off both ends with a paring knife.
Holding the kiwi in one hand, carefully slide a spoon just under the skin. Work the spoon around the fruit until it separates completely from the peel.
Cut the kiwi into thin slices.

Notes

Ripeness Tip: A ripe kiwi gives slightly when pressed. If it's firm, leave it at room temperature for a couple of days.
Prep Tip: Chilled kiwis are easier to peel and hold their shape better when sliced.
Kid-Friendly: For little ones, cut the slices into small cubes for bite-size pieces.
Storing: Refrigerate sliced kiwi in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
