To cut a kiwi, you can follow these simple methods:

Basic Knife Method

  1. Place the kiwi on its side on a cutting board.
  2. Using a small paring knife, slice off both ends of the kiwi.
  3. Stand the kiwi upright and carefully cut downward to remove the peel, rotating the fruit as you go.
  4. Once peeled, slice the kiwi vertically in half.
  5. Cut each half into wedges, round slices, or dice into smaller pieces as desired

Spoon Method

  1. Slice off both ends of the kiwi.
  2. Insert a small spoon near the edge of the kiwi.
  3. Push the spoon against the skin and rotate it around the kiwi, staying close to the skin to separate the flesh.
  4. Slide the peeled kiwi out intact.
  5. Slice as preferred into halves, wedges, rounds, or dices

Star Cut with Knife Method

  1. Place the kiwi on its side.
  2. Insert the tip of your knife halfway through the skin.
  3. Make diagonal slices up and down around the entire kiwi.
  4. Pull the slices apart to reveal a fancy star-shaped cut

Additional Tips

  • The kiwi skin is edible and contains fiber, so you can eat it if you prefer.
  • Store cut kiwi in an airtight container in the refrigerator; it lasts 2-3 days best.
  • Use a sharp paring knife for safer and cleaner cuts

These methods allow you to prepare kiwi for eating fresh, topping yogurt, or decorating desserts easily and neatly.
