    Default I practically STOLE kiwis from the farmers market today

    they were 6for $1!
    I bought $5 worth
    can I freeze some of these or prepare for a serious dose of vitamin c?

    Kelly I am 47 years old and I don't ever remember eating kiwi, isn't that nuts, hey I'm an adventurous eater but always considered them too expensive.
    Enjoy your loot! I know ds loves them & ate them often with al you can eat dorm food.

    Great deal. We like kiwi here at our house, but don't buy them often. I have no idea if they freeze well or not. Maybe someone else will know. Enjoy!

    You could peel, chop and freeze them and then use them frozen in smoothies. I do that often when I have too many bananas, chop them up and put them in a baggie. Then toss a few frozen chunks in the blender with some milk and yogurt. The frozen fruit makes it all slushy.

    That's great about the deal you got!

    The weird thing is - here in Kentucky of all places - I paid only 39 cents each on Monday. At Wal-Mart. Wonder why they were so cheap?! They're delicious, though.

    DS is a new convert to kiwi. And any kind of fruit he will eat, I tend to stock up on. LOL
