Strawberries

Don’t waste any part of the strawberry but lopping off the top half just to get rid of the green leaves! Instead, try this genius hack that works like a charm every time. Simply take a straw and insert it through the bottom of the strawberry and poke it out through the top. This will remove the stem and leaves, leaving you with all the best parts of the strawberry! As they say, waste not, want not.

Kiwis

Kiwis are delicious and tart – the perfect little addition to many salads, desserts, and fruit-based dishes. However, when using a kiwi, you want to make sure you’re getting the most out of the fruit! Instead of chopping off the ends and cutting around the fuzzy outside, try this little trick. Chop off one end of the kiwi and insert a spoon around the edges. Dig a little deeper, continuing to move the spoon in a spiral motion. When you reach the other end of the kiwi, simply scoop out the remainder of the fruit!
