Kiwifruit steak tenderiser
Kiwifruit contains an enzyme which actually will tenderise meats. So, here’s what to do. Before you plan to cook a steak, slice up a kiwifruit and rub the steak on both sides with the kiwifruit (you could also puree the kiwifruit and rub this into the steak). Don’t leave it too long – three hours is the maximum, but even half an hour works wonders. This is a great way to make the cheaper, sometimes tougher, cuts of steak more tender for barbecuing.

Colourful Salad Combo
Kwiwfruit goes really well flavour-wise with fruits such as strawberries, rockmelon and bananas, so next time you’re making a fruit salad, use these four as a flavour combo that is as colourful as it is delicious. Tip: make the fruit salad just before serving it, for best texture and fresh flavours.
