How to Cut a Kiwi

Basic Knife Method

1. Place the kiwi on a cutting board on its long side. Using a small knife, slice off both ends of the kiwi.
2. Flip the kiwi so that it’s standing upright and use a knife to cut away the peel in a downward motion, rotating the kiwi as you remove the skin.
3. Slice the kiwi vertically in half and then into wedges, or slice the kiwi into round sections or into smaller dices.

Spoon Method

1. Place the kiwi on a cutting board on its long side. Using a small knife, slice off both ends of the kiwi.
2. Insert a spoon near the edge of the kiwi. Push the spoon against the side of the skin and rotate it around staying as close to the skin as possible.
3. Once the spoon has made a complete circle around the kiwi, you can easily slide out the peeled kiwi.
4. Slice the kiwi vertically in half and then into wedges, or slice the kiwi into round sections or into smaller dices.
