"They're also a good source of fiber, are jam-packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and even have anti-inflammatory properties. But their peels tend to keep many of us from reaching for them all that often at the market. Sure, they're cute with their brown fuzz, but how do you actually peel them effectively and quickly enough that it's just as easy as eating any other fruit? The answer lies in a kitchen tool you might not expect: The balloon whisk."
"All you have to do is slice the kiwi in half, hold one half in your hand, and press the whisk down vertically into it. It will slice the kiwi into four wedges. To remove the fruit from the peel, give the whisk a twist. Pull it up and out, and drop the kiwi into a bowl, and in about two seconds flat, you've got kiwi ready to enjoy."
Kiwis are sweet and juicy, high in fiber, vitamin C, antioxidants, and possess anti-inflammatory properties. Their fuzzy peels often discourage consumption. A common balloon whisk can peel and quarter a kiwi quickly: slice the kiwi in half, press the whisk vertically into a half, twist, then lift to release four wedges into a bowl. Egg-beater whisks work similarly. Vegetable peelers, paring knives, drinking glasses, or spoons can also remove the skin, but a whisk offers unmatched speed, ease, and simultaneous chopping that makes raw kiwi convenient for many simple recipes.
