We\u2019ve found an EASY way to store them for winter. Just throw a bag of them whole into the freezer. Yes, really that simple. You can\u2019t defrost them and eat them like you would a fresh one, as the texture isn\u2019t that great. But they\u2019re excellent for smoothies, or also to spice up an apple crumble or pudding.<\/p>\n Just take a couple of frozen feijoas out of the freezer and put them in a bowl of hot water for about two minutes. The green outer skin can be easily peeled off using a knife or peeler, and the still frozen inner flesh can be chopped up with a sharp knife.<\/p>\n \u2022 About a cup of yoghurt, kefir<\/a>, coconut milk or nut milk<\/a> * Blend till smooth and it will look like the top picture.<\/p>\n * If your yoghurt is very thick, dilute with some water.<\/em><\/p>\n But don\u2019t stop there, you can get creative, and make your own favourite variation.<\/p>\n (If you’re in NZ and looking for sources, some of these products are available through our Nature Foods online store<\/a>, and are linked to for your convenience. If there’s anything else you can’t find, ask us.)<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 For protein, add a couple of whole free range eggs (but don\u2019t eat supermarket eggs raw like this) OR some Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate<\/a> (my favourite supplemental protein) OR your own favourite protein powder We like carob, so the final product today looked like this:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/recipes\/files\/2016\/09\/feijoapear.jpg\")
