Kiwi juice is one of the interesting beverages that is highly asked for among all other fruit juices. This is said to be one of the best fruits that can be eaten often. I personally prefer drinking lots and lots of fruit juices especially during summers and now in India, we see scorching heat that gives us the best chance to have and try out this drink.
Other juice recipes on the blog to be checked and relished are aam panna again a healthy drink and good for the stomach too, strawberry juice, juice, carrot juice, Mcdonald's strawberry banana smoothie , apple cider vinegar and lemon juice etc...
How does kiwi appear?
The fruit is slightly round and sometimes very slightly elongated in shape with light brown colour. When the fruit is touched it tends to have a slightly rough and little hairy feeling like texture from the outside and when the skin is peeled the fruit appears light green in colour. The fruit has very tiny black seeds at the centre and the seeds need not be removed and can be consumed directly along with the fruit.
Taste of the kiwi fruit
The taste depends on the quality of the fruit as well as how ripe the fruits are. If the fruit is not fully ripe, then it tastes sour and additional ingredients need to be added for a yummy kiwi juice.
If the fruit tastes sweet, it can be eaten directly by peeling the kiwi, cutting it into round slices and consuming the fruit directly.
It was once hard to find kiwi across the world as it is highly grown in New Zealand and sold. Now kiwi is easily available in almost all parts of the world such as India, USA and across other countries too...
Cost of kiwis?
Kiwis are usually sold as single numbers and each kiwi costs somewhere around Rs.25 to 30 in India and if the fruit is imported in huge quantity then we can expect its cost to be cheaper than mentioned above. Internationally they cost about 3 to 4 dollars for 4 to 5 Kiwis.
Since kiwi is a bit expensive fruit one must take utmost care while selecting the fruit at the time of buying. Do not buy the fruit which is too spongy as the fruit might be in its rotten state and therefore buying a fresh, firm kiwi fruit is highly essential for a better taste in the juice.
How to make kiwi juice
The juice can be simply made by peeling the fruit, making slices of the kiwi, blending the juice directly by adding sugar/honey, ice cubes and some water.
Variations that can be done to the juice
The juice can be combined with other fruits like strawberry, apple, banana, pomegranate, orange and also with other fruits and can be made into an amazing cocktail.
One must find it tough to eat this fruit as it can sometimes taste sour and sometimes sweet and that can be known only while we start eating the fruit...Therefore, it is best to know their benefits and start including this amazing fruit in our diet in any form such as a salad or as a juice or smoothie.
