New Fruit: Episode III
The kiwi. Sure you’ve had it in fruit salad, but you know you never want to buy them in the store because let’s face it - it’s grabbing fuzzy balls. I bought a sack of six; why not take the plunge, right? None of us would even know about these things If it wasn’t for Snapple and other pioneers in the 90’s exposing us to unheard of flavors like Mango Madness and *gasp* there’s tea that’s green?! And so the world was introduced to Kiwi, which inexplicably needed desperately to be paired with strawberry at all times or it would die. Here’s a little known fact: The kiwi fruit is actually an egg from the bird with the same name containing an undeveloped fetus, just like eggs we get from chickens.
No. But seriously, you do have to peel off the brown scrotum-like skin to get to the sweet green goodness inside. Not sure if that white part is supposed to be trimmed out, but when I’m dealing with such a small fruit, I’m getting my money’s worth. Good news though: this shit is delicious.
Final verdict - it’s a bit tedious to cut up, but you get better at it quickly and the fruit is worth the effort. I’ve already bought them again.
