Oh what a cool prize - if you win try to visit in Jan or Feb as this is when New Zealand is most beautiful. I love kiwifruit with my favourite Maple Nut Granola: http://edenkitchen.com/maple-nut-granola/

I love Kiwis! I also love the fruit :) I trim the ends off of mine and eat it with the fuzzy little skins and all. There are a lot of nutrients in that skin so if you can get past the fuzzy eat em up! But they are such a great compliment to a strawberry banana smoothie.

Yummy treat and great for entertaining: Wafer cookie with strawberry cream cheese smeared and a slice of kiwi on top. Delicious combo!

I love blending kiwis up with some almond milk for a morning snack, or having diced kiwis in my steak fajitas with lots of crema poured over!

Kiwis are the best - not only do they taste good, but are good for you.

Although my way of eating Kiwis is not original, I love Kiwis so much that I eat one every morning as my breakfast snack. I cut it in half and eat it with a spoon! It’s simple and very enjoyable!

To all pregnant women, I wholeheartedly recommend eating an abundance of Kiwi especially in the first trimester.
I ate tons of the fruit during my pregnancy with our daughter. She's 5'10" today, beautiful, intelligent and about to graduate from the University of Houston.
I buy the fruit now for my grand children and I still eat that fruit voraciously.

Kiwis are an awesome fruit, it's full of vitamin c. I just love the way kiwis look when cut open the black seeds, the green tones of the fruit. To me, kiwis are exotic and are enjoyed all by itself or on top of ice cream, blended in a smoothie and in a fruit salad on top of granola. My 10 year old son enjoys kiwis, just peeled & sliced in his lunches. He asks why they are so fuzzy. I say well, that's just how they are, they grow like that on trees. This is a cool contest, if I won, then I'd be able to show my son where kiwis come from. Too exciting - that would be the ultimate kiwi adventure!

I like kiwis just as an afternoon snack. It's also good with frozen yogurt.

I love kiwifruit! My boyfriend lives in New Zealand, and I have not seen him in four months because I can't afford a flight. Winning this would be absolutely wonderful!

aw i wish i saw this sooner. kiwis are awesome though. if you guys like them, try dragonfruit. you slice it in half and the inside is all white with the little black seeds, identical to kiwis. the flavor is a bit more delicate but is really nice! no gigantic seed or core to worry about. i like cutting in chunks, mixing with kiwi, sliced bananas, pecans and also with some ground up flax seeds. yumm

I came across this post coing out of google. Although it didn't match my term I searched it is safe to say this was an engaging read.
