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!!

Tolleshunt · 27/01/2020 20:41

Er, it’s bitter and unpleasantly furry, so no.....

Selfsettling3 · 27/01/2020 20:41

No. Unless you are constipated.

cheeseandcrackers · 27/01/2020 20:41

Just no! Too hairy..

DullPortraits · 27/01/2020 20:42

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

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 27/01/2020 20:42

Ugh, no! It's all hairy Envy

drivingtofrance · 27/01/2020 20:42

Nah.. I couldn't eat something so hairy.

EarringsandLipstick · 27/01/2020 20:42

Noooo! The hair 🤢

GummyGoddess · 27/01/2020 20:42

What is wrong with you? Just no!

BinkyandBunty · 27/01/2020 20:43

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

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 27/01/2020 20:43

Nooooooooooo

DramaAlpaca · 27/01/2020 20:43

No thanks Confused

SunshineCake · 27/01/2020 20:43

I just googled. apparently you can eat it. Fucks sake. My kids ate loads as youngsters. Hours I lost.

HerRoyalFattyness · 27/01/2020 20:43

Urgh. Gross. Far too hairy

ScribblyGum · 27/01/2020 20:44

Freak

Judgybitch · 27/01/2020 20:44

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??

MrsWednesdayteatime · 27/01/2020 20:44

Noop, way too prickly to eat 😝

inmyshoos · 27/01/2020 20:44

I like the skin too

Geoffreythecat · 27/01/2020 20:44

Oh no thank you

Clevererthanyou · 27/01/2020 20:45

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?

DrDiva · 27/01/2020 20:46

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

glitterbiscuits · 27/01/2020 20:46

No, no, no!

Valkarie · 27/01/2020 20:46

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

adaline · 27/01/2020 20:47

Arggh no way. The fur!
