Where are THE kiwis

[johnmcedinghburg]

I dont mean THE human kiwis but THE kiwi's you can eat.

Not in THE rimping promenade, and not in THE big c extra large.

Already 4 days we didnt see them?

And we love them so much

Saw some in Makro a few days back.

The human ones. mostly, are at Bondi Beach.

KIWIs are a totally protected animal.

or maybe you're using the Thai system of only using half a name, and you might possibly be referring to Chinese gooseberries, aka Kiwi fruit??

Strange creatures, like their human namesakes, they mainly come out at night.

Macro and Tesco always have them at reasonable prices - a price of 10 baht each is a very good price and does come up fairly often - look to see how much for packs of 5 or 6, sometimes cheaper sometimes not, but they keep for ages and ages in the fridge.

With 125% the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, I think a kiwi a day should keep the doctor away. Also, for those with dehydrators, sliced kiwi soaked overnight in honey then dried until they're like tiddlywinks are magnificent, better than any hard boiled sweets I've ever had (and, strangely, good for you).

Tops often have the very, very expensive ones.

I think I should be protected. I'm pretty bloody special.

(Love dem Chinese gooseberries - there were so many around me when I was a kid, they used to fall on the ground and rot, along with tree tomatoes, feijoas, blackberries ... man...)

Say Konini, why use all that honey to dry the kiwifruit? I think a sliced kiwi would dry in 2 days in the sun and be healthier than those loaded with simple sugars.

Honey does not raise your blood sugar so it would not seem to be a harmful sweet. I heard it from a diabetic.

[chingmai331]

Not true, according to USA Mayo Clinic

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/diabetes/faq-20058487

Generally, there's no advantage to substituting honey for sugar in a diabetes eating plan. Both honey and sugar will affect your blood sugar level.

Honey is sweeter than granulated sugar, so you might use a smaller amount of honey for sugar in some recipes. But honey actually has slightly more carbohydrates and more calories per teaspoon than does granulated sugar — so any calories and carbohydrates you save will be minimal.

Tell the diabetic to Google it. I did and found studies that say it does and ones that say it doesn't. I guess it is what ever you want to believe. I choose to go the safe way and not use it.

[chingmai331]

Northernjohn, just where did you read that honey is OK for diabetics? Honey is just a load of carbos, like a hunk of white bread. Count up how many carbo cals you can take, that's it.

Offering folks dis-information and comments like 'read whatever you like and make your choice' rather discounts all the hard work the medico-scientific community is doing to help the diabetics. Sure, honey is ok but you can't have another carbo for the rest of the day.

Honey may be somewhat better than white sugar.

Not sure why - the instruction book that came with my first dehydrator years ago had it in, I tried and we both liked it.

I think though that the honey coating offsets the tartness of the kiwi.
