00:00 It's perfectly safe to eat this skin, but if you prefer your fruit fuzz-free, here's
00:06 how to make quick work of peeling and slicing kiwis.
00:12 No matter what tool you use for peeling, the first step is to trim off the ends.
00:17 If you want to stay with the knife, stand the kiwi up on the cutting board on one of
00:21 its flat sides.
00:22 Now carefully make vertical cuts down the side of the fruit, following the curves of
00:27 the kiwi from top to bottom to remove the fuzzy skin.
00:31 If you're more comfortable using a peeler, make careful vertical passes down the sides,
00:37 following its curves to trim closely between the skin and the flesh.
00:45 You could also use the spoon method.
00:47 Press a spoon against the interior of the skin and spin the kiwi like tracing a circle.
00:53 Lift the spoon out gently to coax the flesh out from the skin.
00:57 The spoon method may be the safest, but a bit more flesh may stick to the skin.
01:02 Now that it's peeled, here are some fun shapes you might try.
01:06 Circle slices are easy.
01:08 Just set the kiwi on one of its sides and slice across the fruit to create coins about
01:13 a quarter inch thick.
01:15 If you want even smaller pieces, you can take it one step further.
01:19 It cuts one way, rotate, then cut the other way, and now you have cubes.
01:25 For wedges, slice down the middle to create two half moons.
01:30 Place it curved side down, then slice those in half again into quarters.
01:34 For even slimmer wedges, cut these in half once more.
01:39 For something a little fancier, try zigzag halves.
01:43 Insert your knife at a 45-degree angle and stop around the center.
01:47 Take the knife in the opposite direction and insert it at a 45-degree angle right next
01:52 to the first cut.
01:53 Continue this up and down pattern to trace around the midline of the fruit until you
01:57 reach the first cut.
01:59 Gently pull the kiwi apart and each half should resemble a mountain range.
02:04 Pretty fun, right?
02:05 However you prepare them, enjoy eating your kiwis.
