Stir baking soda (optional) into water, and bring to a boil.

Gently place eggs into the water and allow to boil for 10 minutes.

Drain water, then run the eggs under cold water until they are cool to the touch. Peel and set aside.

Chop bananas, kiwi, and apples; add to a large bowl.

Add the ginger and the juice from the orange to the fruit; toss to combine.

Serve fruit salad alongside hard-boiled eggs.
