Can you freeze kiwi??

[GLCAS]

Does anyone know if you can freeze kiwi? I bought a bunch and use them for a fruity drink but I have too many for now and would like to freeze them for another time??????? :confused:

i think the only way to find out is to stick one in the freezer and find out. thats what i would do ....never know until you try

:D You had lots of responses when you asked this on another board. Did you go back and check?

My guess would be that you cannot due to the high water content of the kiwi.

 

Most other high water content foods like lettuce and watermelon don't defrost well.

It's probably too late for your poor kiwis, but (next time) I would pulp them and freeze that. It doesn't freeze hard like an ice cube, but as long as you use it within about a month, it should be okay. Have you tried the golden kiwis? Tres yummy!

My husband is a Kiwi and I don't think he would like to be pulped OR frozen! haha

 

Kiwi, Mangoes, Passion fruit and other "tropicals" can usually be frozen when pureed, but in my experience they don't do as well frozen whole or in large chunks. However, Costco sells frozen fruit in a large package that includes peaches (similar texture) so it can probably be done - I would love to know the secret!

I've frozen mangos, kiwi and even the applepears, but I set them out (like strawberries) on a cookie sheet in the freezer after I cut them up, and then when they're partially frozen use my Tilia foodkeeper to vacuum-seal them.

 

The longest I've been able to keep them (someone keeps eating them:rolleyes: ) though is about a month. Don't know how they'd keep beyond that. And I don't thaw them completely... leave some crystals in them.
