Ingredients

Notes
- yield ¾ cup
- Gold/Green: Either gold or green kiwi can be used to make this kiwi puree recipe. They have very different flavor profiles. Green is quite tangy, a little like the tang you get from citrus fruit. Gold is sweeter and tastes more like a tropical fruit.
- Liquid: Generally depending on your blender you will not need additional liquid to make kiwi puree. You can add a little water, breast milk or formula if needed.
- Start with ripe kiwi. You can tell if a kiwi fruit is ripe by holding the kiwi in the palm of your hand and then gently press the fruit. A ripe kiwi will give a little when you press, an unripe kiwi will be hard and firm.
- If your blender is struggling to puree the fruit, my first tip is to add a bit more kiwifruit to the blender! Sometimes our blenders and food processors perform better if bigger quantities are used.
- You can always add liquid if you feel like your blender is still struggling.
- When making baby purees such as kiwifruit puree you can always add a little breastmilk or baby formula.
- Portion any extras into a baby food or ice cube tray to freeze.
- Store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4 days, or store in your freezer for up to 4 months.
