One (3-inch long) kiwifruit contains 42 calories; 1 cup chopped kiwifruit has 102 calories. One kiwifruit supplies a full adult daily allowance of vitamin C; that’s more per ounce than oranges. Kiwifruit also is high in vitamin K, copper and fiber.
Kiwifruit will keep several days on the kitchen counter and four weeks (or more) unwrapped in the fridge.
To ripen kiwis, put firm kiwis in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana, which releases ethylene gas. That speeds ripening and check daily.
Kiwi’s fuzzy brown skin is edible (and full of fiber), but the peel is usually discarded. To remove the flesh, slice kiwi lengthwise and scoop out the sweet, juicy meat with a spoon. The tiny black seeds are edible.
