To think you eat the skin of a kiwi?!

Was going to put this in chat but thought I’d opt for the voting to get a clearer picture!
Dds and I eat the skin of the kiwi fruit. Dh and ds think we are weird. It’s much quicker, I’m sure it’s really nutritious and there’s less waste (okay, actually I just started eating the skin when I realised I was too lazy to bother peeling them).
I put it to you, good people of MN, AW(we)BU?

I eat kiwis like I would an apple..... Skin is an excellent source of fibre, and tasty!!

I accidentally got a piece of the skin I didn't remove when peeling and it made my tongue feel sooo weird!! No way would i eat it purposely or a lot of it- but each to their own i guess lol

I own a kiwifruit peeler. The fact such a thing exists answers your question, OP Wink

Kiwi skin is an irritant isn't It? I doubt it's great for your innards if so. Would you eat banana skin for the same reasons??

I cut in half and scoop the guts out with a teaspoon ... sure everyone does, right? Blush

Is that true about kiwi skin working for constipation?

Kiwis do not eat the skin of kiwis.
Also, we call them kiwifruit, to save on the confusion. When I saw your title, I thought you meant the bird and I was most Confused Shock

They taste lovely with the fur removed. Just like peaches or beef. But furry food is a no from me.
