To think you eat the skin of a kiwi?!

[TheChosenTwo]

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 don't much like apple skin either, I only eat peeled apples now.

Oh, my mum always told me there was something very dangerous about kiwi skin damaging your oesophagus (or was that an 80s scare story?!)

I love the skin! Rest of my family think I'm weird though

Yes we are skin eaters however the dinner lady at ds first school spoke to the teacher about his unpealed kiwi

Please present yourself to MN’s box of shame and close the lid.
We will collectively decide how long you should be there!

I have always eaten the skin!! And the people saying they cut it in half/cut off the top and scoop out the innards have it right too- except I then eat the skin after

The skin is where the nutrients are. I eat kiwis thinly sliced. Hardly even taste the skin that way.

Actually, I don't peel oranges or satsumas/clementines either, I cut them in to quarters and eat them that way.
It seems I'm very fussy about fruit.

I eat the skin and enjoy the horror it causes people. It really is fine, no different to a peach or plum or apple skin. Plus it has all the nutrients.

They don't feel that furry in the mouth! Although, I can tell the difference when I eat the golden kiwis as they are practically bald.

It never occurred to me that you could eat the skin. Or that anyone would want to!
I have never done so, and never will! Mind, I don't buy kiwis very often anyway!

“They taste lovely with the fur removed. Just like peaches or beef.”

🤣

Yuck

Eurgh

I didnt think you could. Learn something new every day

I discovered that I can eat mango skin! After hours and hours of my life scooping out mangos!

No, it's like the pelt of a mouse.

Well this isn’t going in my favour at all looking at the votes, of 284 voters, 90% are declaring me unreasonable. You people know nothing

You utter lunatic.

They are Chewbacca's testicles. Do not eat the fuzzy bits.

No. Top off, wrap a napkin around it and eat like soft boiled egg, with tea spoon. I introduced this method to packed lunches at school. Before this, the dinner ladies had been peeling them.

I eat kiwis like apples - skin and all. The only bit I leave is that Libby bit at the end.

It's a bit like chewing coconut matting, but the fibre has to be good for me, plus it's only the texture that gets affected, not the taste.

Gross! Far too hairy

I'm not convinced, @speakout. I'll have to ask the cat about that one.

He doesn't eat them or kiwifruit skins. Suppose that's why I find both abandoned under the kitchen table on Sunday mornings.

I've tried it. I am still alive. But I'd prefer to have them peeled.
