stupid kiwi fruit argument!!

clarechieri

My partner keeps telling me I'm weird for only eating the middle of a kiwi fruit because he eats the whole thing skin and all (yuck)

So please tell me how you eat them so we can once and for all sort out who is actually the strange one lol

taylor5877

sierrajade2012

EW I wouldn't eat the skin!! I don't think you are supposed to lol

tmauck4472

Never ever heard of anyone eating the skin, I thought I read where you only eat the inside stuff not the skin. He's the strange one.

Nothing wrong with eating the skin. It's a preference. Lots of people peel All fruit. New Zealanders eat the skin. Kiwi fruit originated there. It's like cucumber, peel it? Or don't? It's a preference. Find something worthwhile to argue about.

Shave the "hair" off by scraping it with the blade of a knife and eat it with the skin. A lot of vitamins a fiber to be had there.

I'm originally from NZ and no way would I eat the peel - I don't think I know anyone who does! NZ does produce a 'milder' form of kiwifruit (zespri's/golden kiwi) those are less hairy, but even so....

Ick.

I eat the inner fruit but not the skin. I don't like the feel of it in my mouth.
Im ok with peaches though the fuzz is softer

i cant eat the skin! not only icky but im allergic! i peel/spoon out the kiwi and than have to wash it to get my fix. as a fellow kiwi eater do not purchase kiwis from china/japan/thai...my dad sent me an email they show that kiwis from theses countries are put in a bag full of unknown liquid to make them fat/heavier well they are still growing so they sell for more. just a add in there

crazy_indeed

Really? People eat the skin?!? YUCK

I cut the kiwi in half,
and scoop out the inside with a spoon.

never tasted the skin. I also don't eat the outer shells of oranges, watermelons, cantaloupes, etc etc.

I do, however, eat potato peel, (my favorite part) after scrubbing it well.

and i rarely peel my carrots either, only scrub them very hard.

skin too for me sorry...I love the sour taste of it

Only the middle. The skin is disgusting!

New Zealanders eat the skin? I don't know anyone who eats the skin

felitong

my cousins are from Australia and they eat the whole thing after giving it a good scrub, but it's too hair for me to eat it

grimsin

your omega 3 fatty acids are in the skin, why wouldn't you eat it? when you wash the kiwi scrub it under the water and it makes the outer shell into a much easier texture to eat. When you get over the texture of the skin and start letting the sour flavor of it interact with the extreme sweet of the core, it is a fantastic flavor.

I eat the skin. Nothing wrong with it. In fact, it doesn't even have any flavour. I found it a major PITA to get the skin off. It was messy and left too much waste, so I just started eating it. It's like eating a peach with the skin on. Not a big deal.

marie_cressman

I eat everything but the skin.

LOL...I see on MFP "kiwi without skin" and I always think "who would eat the skin???"

pa_jorg

I don't eat the skin because the texture is gross, but I know people who do.

Also, how do you eat a kiwi? I think the easiest way is to cut it in half and then scoop out the insides with a spoon. But I know some people think that's weird too.

tpittsley77

I cut a kiwi and half and scoop the insides out with a spoon and enjoy. Eating the skin of a kiwi, or a peach for that matter, would be like licking a sweater. *gagging at the thought* :sick:
