Try Something New: Kiwi Fruit

We are on a quest to try something new each week. I had tasted fresh kiwi before but my boys had not. Of course they have had kiwi flavored items before like strawberry kiwi juice. It’s not the same as a fresh kiwi though!

We picked kiwi since my boys had seen one on a kid’s show a couple of weeks ago. Capt. M asked what the round fuzzy ball was. That’s was a perfect opportunity for me to head to the store and introduce a new fruit.

Kiwi is a little tangy but sweet. To eat it, just peel the brown fuzzy skin off. Kiwi is ripe when it is a slightly soft when squeezed.

The inside of the kiwi is interesting. Mr. B would not try it due to the black seeds. Capt. M tried the kiwi and said “tangy”. I think both boys would it enjoy kiwi better mixed with other fruits. It would be great in a fruit salad and I don’t think they would notice the seeds as much!

Have you tried anything new this week?
