Due to its soft, juicy texture, Zespri Green kiwifruit is ideal for blending. After peeling and cutting one into chunks or adding one whole including the skin, blend it on high for 5-7 seconds. If you have never blended it before, here’s a tip! Be gentle with the pulp and don’t over process: blending for too long can crack open the seeds, leaving a slightly bitter after taste.
