stupid kiwi fruit argument!!

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.

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 used to only eat the middle.....
since being a student i now eat the skin too... means i dont need a knife to eat it + get more to eat

I shave them with a razor, sometimes i use wax or lasers to remove the hair. it depends on my mood.

My boss eats the skin, I don't.

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

Eew. No, I do not eat the skin. Gag.

I've never heard of anyone leaving the skin on it. I cut each end off with a knife, put a spoon in it and scoop it out - it peels itself that way, no mess, and really quick.

Ooooooooooooh i love me some Kiwi.....but it has to be hard...and peeled, then I gotsta add some salt to it.

his preference can only be good news for you in the bedroom.

Hmmm... Had never actually thought about eating the skin... I guess it's the same with mangos - few people bother eating the skin, which I do (as long as it's quite ripe). Will give it a go next time since kiwi peeling is a PITA and pretty messy. If I can eat it without peeling, that's great!
