    You can eat it like an apple, too.

    Takes practice to get used to chewing a furry thing.

    there where kiwi berries at my store the other day, they are super tiny kiwis without the fur. yum!
  • It's so messy though!
    I usually carve the skin off because scooping it out seems to be such a disaster with me lol.
  • Mmm... kiwis... their accents make them the most delicious....


    ...wait, we're not talking about the same thing here, are we? ;3

    I always cut it like an apple until last week when I had someone tell me to eat it with a spoon. I think I may have to go find some kiwi after school today because it sounds delish right now!

    more power to you! i was just commenting on a 'weird texture' thread, and now that i have this on my mind, i'll have to add it on the list. i don't think i could ever accomplish eating kiwi skin unless it was under extreme duress!

    :noway:

    It's my favorite way to eat them! And cutting them in half makes it into 2 kiwis to eat! Win-win!

    It was made easier by the fact it was a 3rd grade dare from my teacher. She would eat them apple-way and encouraged us to do the same. Nutrients are held in the skin of most fruits, kiwi included :wink:

    P.S. I do enjoy a good kiwi accent now and then. Had a kiwi leader on my team in a video game...it was quite enjoyable :bigsmile:

    I know a lot of people get grossed out by this, but I scrub the outside, lop off the ends, slice and eat it with the skin on. That's where all the nutrients are... YUM :)

    if a kiwi shaver is ever developed, i would be open the possibility of eating the skin. in the meantime, so long as it is a hairy beast, i'll stick with.... :noway:

    Cannibalism. It's the newest thing for getting all your exercise calories back... except the airfare is a bit much for most of us.


    (Yeah, I just discovered the spoon-out-the-kiwi thing too; carving them is a right pain in the ar-se.)

    You missy are insane, lol, well insane to me, I get a tongue rash if there is any furry stuff left on the fruit, I have to wash a lot of it off before even cutting into it or I get a swollen tongue and my mouth feels itchy! LOL. :D

    My grocery store has this super-cool machine next to the kiwi in the produce section. It peels them for you in the store! That way, when I get home, I just pick one up and eat it!

    We can't have topics like this on MFP..... Plus I didn't think New Zealanders liked to be called Kiwi's....


    ohhhh you mean the delicious fruit that pairs well with strawberries...continue!
