Julienne peeler for papaya and som tam · Kiwi Pro

The Kiwi julienne peeler is one of those simple tools that suddenly make a Thai recipe much more accessible. Instead of struggling with a knife and manual cutting, simply run the peeler over green papaya, carrots, or other hard vegetables to get thin strips that are perfect for Som Tam, Asian salads, rice bowls, and refreshing dishes.

Its advantage lies in the texture. In a good Som Tam, the vegetables need to be thin enough to absorb the sauce, but still crisp and fresh. This peeler helps achieve exactly that, especially when working with green papaya or hard vegetables that are not always easy to cut with a regular knife.

Tips
Use short, steady strokes, always away from your hand. For green papaya, first peel the outer skin and then run the peeler along the fruit. Also works great with carrots, kohlrabi, firm cucumber, and zucchini. After use, it is recommended to rinse and dry immediately to maintain the blade.
