First of all, I want to say about the uniqueness of this fruit. It lies in the fact that Kiwano can be eaten both in salt form and in sweet form. In addition, with the help of it they emphasize the severity of dishes.

This fruit, like many others, should be eaten raw. Kiwano can be cut into slices, like an orange. However, this can not be done with every fetus. If the flesh is too thin, it is better to eat with a spoon than cut into pieces. The only disadvantage of using raw kiwano is that its taste will not be bright and saturated.

Most often, kiwano is added to compotes and all kinds of preserves. But it turns out it can be eaten not only in this form. It is pickled like cucumbers! Unexpectedly, right? And, frankly, in this form it is even much more healthy and tastier than ours, so to speak, "fellow countryman."

As already mentioned, this fruit is unusual not only in taste, but also in appearance. Therefore, it is very often used to decorate all kinds of dishes, as well as used in serving a festive table. In the first case, the pulp is needed, in the second - the peel, which replaces the dishes.
The most common dish with this fruit is made as follows: seafood and cheese are mixed. Then the flesh of kivano is laid on top. By the way, just the peel will come in handy for this food. Of course, this is not the only recipe, but the easiest.
