Red kiwi is a unique variety of kiwi with reddish flesh and fuzzy brown skin. It offers a delicious combination of sweet and tart flavors, making it a visually striking and delicious alternative to traditional green kiwi.
Look for fruits that are plump, firm, and free from wrinkles or soft spots. Additionally, check for a bright and uniform red color, as this indicates ripeness, and give them a gentle squeeze to ensure they have a slight give without being too soft.
To eat red kiwis, simply wash them thoroughly, and enjoy them as a whole fruit, skin and all, or you can cut them in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The skin is edible and adds a pleasant texture, while the juicy and sweet flesh provides a burst of flavor.
Keep red kiwis at room temperature if they are not fully ripe, allowing them to ripen over a few days. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life, keeping them in a breathable container or perforated bag to maintain freshness for up to a week.
