    That is an interesting argument. I've done it both ways xD The skin isn't that big a deal, but the hairy part of it kinda is. I'd just say you're both sane and it's a potato pa-tato issue.

    I eat the skin. I love how it gives the kiwi a sweet and sour taste.

    Um, have you people never eaten a peach?! It's the same thing! Just scrub it well first. If you're not eating the skin, you're missing out on most of the health benefits of kiwi!

    I didn't realize that people ate the skin on a kiwi. I guess I'll have to give it a try. I mean I do eat the fuzzy skin of a peach. Or you could just eat the middle and leave him a pile of your kiwi skins since he likes them so much. Kind of like eating fried chicken or a cupcake when I was a kid. I'd just eat the crispy skin or lick all the frosting off...all I guess I needed was a buddy to eat the meat and the cake part of the cup cake. That would have been a great partnership.

    I use to eat just the fruit until my husband and I had the same argument. He has always eaten the skin. I did my research and found out that the skin actually has a ton of fiber and antioxidents that your body needs. Now I eat the whole thing and if you scrub it really good with a fruit brush most of the hair comes off. I found a website with a bit of information about the skin:

    Enjoy!

    I cut in in half and eat out the insides with a spoon, leaving the skin.

    I dont eat the skin, but my husband does. Its just preference, but yes, there are many nutrients and fiber in the skin, that is not found within the rest of the fruit.

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

    I do this too. I love Kiwi fruit. But no thanks to the hair.

    I eat kiwis like peaches. Always have. I *like* contrasting textures in my food though. Just 1 texture is a little tame.

    I was taught to eat it skin and all, that way you get the mouth wake up call with the delectable sweet and that sour faced sourness...

    Lots of fiber in the skin... I still don't enjoy the texture enough to eat it :)
