TTR – Kiwi


Today’s focus is on KIWI.

That fuzzy little brown fruit from Down Under is also called a Chinese Gooseberry. Packed with fiber, vitamin C and potassium, this wonderful fruit is available year ‘round.

Here’s today’s TRICK:

To ripen a kiwi, leave it out (away from sunlight) on the counter and allow it ripen by itself. If you need it riper faster, put it in a brown paper bag with a banana.

Here’s a TIP:

If you’re looking for a good natural tenderizer for a tough cut of beef, use kiwi! The enzymes in kiwi that cause it to not be a good addin for gelatin desserts make it a natural as a meat tenderizer. Add some garlic, ginger and soy sauce and you’ve got an instant marinade!

And your RECIPE (from Body Clutter Menu-Mailer)

    This sounds so delicious and healthy. My picky 13-year old wants to try it.

    Peeling Kiwi is a real pain, and was the reason I so often let them age on the counter–no time to peel.
    SOLUTION:
    Cut them in half crosswise, and use a soup or serving spoon to seperate each half from it’s skin, the stem/base ends will stay attached, but if I’m slicing it, I leave the skin attached this way as a handle till just a small amount remains, and I can’t make more pretty slices. I eat that last partial slice then and there!

    I think kiwi is my daughters favorite fruit. She is 2 and would probably eat as much kiwi as I would give her! Do you have any other kiwi recipes?
