I was feeling like something fermented! Veggies and mushrooms and a little cheese and blue corn chips! 🤪

@mkksemail Do you eat the skin on the kiwi? I always peel mine. I didn’t think it was edible?

Yup, it's edible. And yup, I eat it :). I wash first, ofc.

Yes, it is generally safe and even recommended to eat kiwi skin. Kiwi skin is a good source of fiber, which can aid digestion and contribute to a healthy gut. It also contains vitamins and antioxidants. Here's a more detailed look:
- Fiber Boost:Kiwi skin significantly increases the fiber content of the fruit. Eating the skin can increase fiber by almost half, according to USA Today.
- Nutrient Rich:Kiwi skin is a good source of folate, vitamin C, and vitamin E, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being.
- Antioxidant Powerhouse:Kiwis, including the skin, are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body against damage from free radicals.
- Digestive Health:The high fiber content in kiwi skin can help promote healthy digestion and prevent constipation.
- Heart Health:Some research suggests that kiwis can also support heart health, potentially reducing the risk of stroke and coronary disease.
- Potential Side Effects:While generally safe, some individuals may be allergic to kiwi, including the skin. Additionally, the skin contains oxalates, which can be a concern for those prone to kidney stones.
- Tips for Eating Kiwi with the Skin:To make eating kiwi skin more palatable, you can lightly scrub the fuzz off the skin while washing, or consider gold kiwis, which tend to have less coarse hairs than green kiwis.

I had cottage cheese w/ organic black pepper, organic brazil nuts, a kiwifruit, and an apricot :).
I had a big lunch (hodgepodge of leftovers). So, light dinner. Or maybe heavy dinner-time-ish snack :p. I logged it as a snack, but it feels like dinner :)1 -
