My son is eating a kiwi all wrong.

[TheOnlyReality]

He's eating it like you would an apple, skin and all.

He says it's delicious, he's had two in a row now.

I have always peeled kiwis and discarded the skin, surely what he is doing is an abomination?

Aibu?

[wankerchief]

I eat the skin. The fuzz is gooood

Dp thinks I'm skanky

[EatDessertFirst]

I'm a skin-eater too! Delish.

However, my DM taught me to scoop out the kiwi halves boiled egg style.

[starlight2007]

I just googled as I didn't know if the skin was edible ..I got this

"The kiwifruit skin is completely edible and makes this nutrient-dense fruit even more nutritious! A recent study shows that eating the skin triples the fiber intake compared to merely eating the flesh. And by not peeling the skin, you preserve much of the vitamin C content as well"

Clearly he is eating it in a more nutritious manner

[vestandknickers]

Get rid of him reality.

Only way.

You can't live with someone who does that.

[addictedtosugar]

Personally, kiwis are wrong in any form.
One child has them cut in half, and uses a spoon, one has them in quartets, but still leaves the skin.
DH eats the skin.

[MaidOfStars]

Kiwis make my mouth swell. Horrible things.

Eating the skin? Urrhrhhghg.

[DeeWe]

I love eating the skin, but it makes your tongue all tingly afterwards which I don't like.

[PotOfYoghurt]

Nobody should eat kiwis.

Kiwifruit on the other hand...

[DrElizabethPlimpton]

Kiwis are the devils testicles. Nasty horrible things.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

Love kiwi but not the skin, yuk!

I peel mine then slice it , all dainty like.

[vestandknickers]

I even peel them for the hamster.

[Dismalfuckers]

This makes me feel better about ds just biting into a satsuma- not breaking it into segments.

He did peel it though

[DurhamDurham]

I eat the skin too, it's the tastiest bit......life is too short to peal a kiwi

[Tuskerfull]

I eat the skin too. It's much nicer that way.

[ChilliAndMint]

Lychees are rather testicular as well.

[HedgehogAtHome]

I peel them, but I feel daft about it. I could use the extra fibre in my diet and I hate food waste. It's just too darn hairy.

[QueenOfCats]

Anyone who eats a kiwi in any way is BU - food of the devil

[Mrscog]

I once tried the skin as my boss ate them like that. Wayyy too much like eating a tarantula for my liking. Kiwis are best scooped with a spoon like a yoghurt.

[CMOTDibbler]

I can't bear the skin in my mouth, but ds likes it

[FernGullysWoollyPully]

Kiwis taste like shit and make my lips swell up.

The kidslove them and eat them with a spoon.

[HeadDreamer]

What potofyoghurt says. Nobody should eat kiwis. That's the bird or the people. The fruit is kiwi fruit.

A kiwi in the UK.

[Theoldshmoo]

They say you learn a new thing everyday!

At 42, i had no idea you could eat the skin

[AngieBolen]

I've never really liked kiwis.

Then I discovered they are related to gooseberries and that explained everything.

[BlueKarou]

Kiwi fruit makes my mouth burn, skin or no skin...

[ProcrastinatorGeneral]

My eldest loves then, tends to eat them like a runny egg, lops the top off and scoops it all out with a teaspoon.
