New kiwi on the block!
This is not an advert for Tescos although I do owe them a thank you.
Hubby and I often go to our local store on a Saturday. We have a cup of coffee, talk about our goodies for the week-end and have a leisurely amble around. We do our big weekly shop in another Tesco store (long story and for another post!). It means that at the week-end we approach those folks giving samples with more time and interest.
This morning there was a stand in the fruit department offering a taste of kiwi fruits. We are fans but I find that they are quite difficult to eat as I don’t like the skin and find removing it or trying to scoop the fruit out a bit of a pain. Well, today we were introduced to YELLOW kiwis. They are slightly sweeter than their green cousins and the flesh is softer. As we bought some, the lady (it is usually ladies doing sampling isn’t it?) gave us two amazing looking implements! They are spoons that cut round and scoop out.
Very ingenious! The fruit was delicious and even though we used our gifts, we needed to have a wash after eating them because they were very juicy! I’m sure children would love them.
Have you seen and tried these new additions to the fruit bowl?
At least ten years ago a local green grocer had golden kiwis for just one season and I’ve never seen them since. I loved them so I hope they’ll be back now!
Really sweet & so juicy Gilly!
Yes, they are very healthy and I like the green ones more than the yellow ones. They pack them in 6 or 8 with a spoon in too, in small plastic containers! Easy to eat and use.
I’d need a wet wipe too Scapy!
Wow. I have never heard of yellow kiwis. Those spoons look like they get the job done neat and quick. Huh. I learn something new every day. 😀 Thanks for sharing, Julia. <3
Pleasure. Let me know if you have them over there Tess!
I’ll certainly be on the lookout for them now. Hope I find some ’cause I’m excited now. 😛
A colleague of mine ate kiwis with a teaspoon like a boiled egg: take the top off and scoop out the insides. Always works for me too!
Well I have the spoon for both those actions!
