Kiwis are small fruits that look like fuzzy brown eggs on the outside, but when you slice one open, you get a beautiful surprise! The inside is bright green with a ring of tiny black seeds and a white center that looks like a little starburst. They got the name “kiwi” because they look like the fuzzy brown kiwi bird from New Zealand.
Even though kiwis are small, they are packed with more Vitamin C than an orange, which makes them tiny vitamin powerhouses! You can actually eat the fuzzy brown skin of a kiwi because it is full of healthy fiber. Kiwis have a sweet and tangy taste that is a little bit like a mix between a strawberry and a banana.
- You can eat a kiwi by cutting it in half and scooping the fruit out with a spoon, almost like eating a little green bowl of goodness!
- Kiwis are wonderful in fruit salads, smoothies, or just eaten all by themselves.
- Most people prefer to peel off the fuzzy skin first, but you do not have to!
