A sweet and juicy fruit, kiwifruit is grown in California, Chile and New Zealand.
The Vitamin C enriched fruit is available year-round in many areas. The egg-size fruit has a fuzzy brown exterior and brilliant green flesh.
Kiwis are ripe when the firm exterior begins to soften. They will keep at room temperature for 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for nearly a month.
This fruit can be eaten raw. Split in half and scoop out the fruit with a spoon or peel and slice. Thin slices of kiwi can be layered on desserts or used as a garnish.
