It's the latest 'life hack' to do the rounds online, and this time the subject is one of our favourite fruits.

If you're simply throwing kiwifruit on cereal, the tried and true method of scooping out the flesh with a spoon does the trick, but when it comes to preparing them for a fruit salad or pavlova topping, cutting off the skin can be time consuming.

As this video shows, kiwifruit perfection can be achieved in three easy steps.

First, cut a small amount off each end of the kiwifruit, so the ends are flat.

Next, make a small cut along the length of the fruit, just enough to cut through the skin.

Then, all you have to do is gently ease the spoon into the cut, lift off the skin with the spoon and work your way around to peel off the entire layer.

While it can apparently take a few tries to master, this is one 'hack' we'll definitely be testing out at home.
