Frequently asked questions
Which kiwi is sweeter — golden or green?
Golden kiwi is sweeter and less tangy, with tropical notes. Green kiwi is more refreshingly tart.
How do I know when a kiwi is ripe?
It yields to gentle pressure, like a ripe peach. Firm kiwis just need a few days at room temperature.
Can I eat kiwi skin?
Yes — the skin is edible and rich in fibre. Golden kiwi has a smoother skin that is especially easy to eat; rinse first.
How do I ripen kiwi faster?
Put it in a paper bag with an apple or banana for 1–2 days.
Do kiwis have more vitamin C than oranges?
Yes — gram for gram, kiwi contains more vitamin C than an orange.
