How to Easily Peel Kiwi

Fuzziness can be adorable in pets and comfy clothing. However, it is less desirable when peeling fruit. The kiwi is one of the fuzzier fruits available. Its green seeds and flesh are rich in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.

Knowing how to peel a kiwi without making a mess is essential. Unlike oranges, you cannot easily peel kiwis with your hands. Kiwis do not have edible skin like apples do. Fortunately, there are multiple effective methods for peeling this vibrant fruit. You might be surprised by how many tools you can use to help.

Here are four effective ways to peel a kiwi: with a spoon, a paring knife, or even a glass!

How to Peel a Kiwi with a Spoon

1. Start by slicing off both ends of the kiwi using a sharp knife. Create flat surfaces at the top and bottom.
2. Hold the kiwi in one hand and slide a spoon between the flesh and the skin, guiding it down the fruit’s side.
3. Rotate the kiwi as you continue to slide the spoon around the perimeter, gently loosening the peel.
4. Once you circle the entire kiwi, the peel will detach completely.

How to Peel a Kiwi by Halving

1. Cut the kiwi in half horizontally, slicing through the center.
2. Take each half and use the spoon method described above.
3. This technique is handy for a snack on the go. Just remember to pack a reusable spoon along with the halved kiwi.

How to Peel a Kiwi with a Knife or Vegetable Peeler

1. Just like before, slice off each end of the kiwi using a sharp knife to create flat tops.
2. Place the kiwi flat-side down on a cutting board.
3. Carefully use a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skin by running down the sides of the kiwi.

How to Peel Kiwi with a Glass

1. Again, begin by slicing off both ends of the kiwi to create flat surfaces.
2. Cut the kiwi in half lengthwise.
3. Press one half against the edge of a glass, sliding it so that the edge works between the flesh and peel. Push down until the peel completely separates. The kiwi will drop into the glass.

Now that you've peeled your kiwi, consider slicing it into rounds, dicing it for a recipe, adding it to a smoothie or yogurt bowl, or savoring it fresh.
