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

    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. :smile:

    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 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 :)

    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.
