Kiwi is such a beautiful green fruit and is bountiful at Costco right now. Of course, purchasing kiwi in a 4 pound box limits your ability to purchase only ripe, sweeter ones. We are fans of adding a little honey, lemon and ginger to compliment the sweet-tartness of this powerhouse fruit. Not only are kiwi pretty, adding a bit of the tropical to our kitchen, they have nearly 300% of the rda of vitamin c, 89% vitamin k, 21% fiber and are about 100 calories each. In addition, they are only about an 8 on the glycemic index (before the addition of honey). Plus they are just so pretty, which rates high on my happy index.
8-10 kiwis, peeled and sliced
2-3 tbls honey (depending on how tart the fruit is), warmed to liquid
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
juice from half a lemon
- Slice kiwis into a bowl
- In a smaller bowl add warmed honey
- Grate ginger with a microplane or small-holed cheese grater right over the honey to catch any juice
- Squeeze half a lemon into the honey bowl, removing any seeds
- Mix honey-ginger mixture and stir into kiwi bowl
