The kiwifruit is chock full of Vitamin C, in fact it contains several times more of it than citrus fruit. It has a quite sour taste, which is exactly why I love it. Some people peel the whole fruit before eating it, but that will leave you with extremely sticky hands and kiwi juice all over the place. Thus, my preferred method of eating kiwifruit is to cut them in half and extract the fruit flesh with a spoon. However, this can be difficult if the fruit is not yet completely ripe and thus still hard.
