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 used to kiss my pet rats, I still don't eat weird fruit skin though!

I can't imagine doing this! Erghh
Slice top off and eat with a tea spoon.

I tried it after watching a lad at school (where I work), eat one skin and all. Nope, nope, nope, and I eat apple cores so I'm not generally fussy.

I used to kiss my pet rats,

But theoretically, you would have no objection to licking a rodent?

That's disgusting. What kind of way is that to raise your children OP? Shame.

You absolute degenerate.

I bet you eat the entire apple, core and all, as well don't you?!

SchadenfreudePersonified yay! Ludicrously pleased to have encouraged someone else to eat mango skin.

I eat a Kiwi like an apple, you’re not alone.

YABVVVU and you are a freak... Comparing the fuzz and fur on a kiwi with raspberries .

Surely a mango is cut each side of the 'stone' and diced on the skin. Beware of pesticides on fruit skins.

I always eat the skin, I like it.

I have in the past but others think it's weird.

You can eat it, it's not bad for you, it's just furry.

They're kind of a demanding fruit, they're hard to peel, you have to get a spoon involved to scoop it, juice goes everywhere. Not worth the effort really. I'll stick to my tangerine.

From the California Kiwifruit Commission

"Can you eat the skin of a kiwifruit?"

"Absolutely! 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."

So there!

Nope. Beurk.

No way. I have IBS. If I ate the skin, which is horrible anyway, I would never leave the bathroom.

If I survive I will report back on my experience onalongsabbatical

I am quite excited at the prospect of being part of this ground-breaking fructarian venture!

i dramatically yelped at this thinking what?how?! then googled and your right.it tripled the fiber and adds to vit c.who knew,but i still dont know how.

No,never eat the skin on a kiwi. I eat it like a soft boiled egg. I cut a kiwi in half and scoop out the flesh of each half,

Far too testicular for me

ActualHornist not the seeds though remember as you will grow a tree inside you

I mean, I crunch up the bones of roast chicken and suck out the marrow, and even I don't eat fucking kiwi skin. YABU

I always eat it. It tastes good (it’s not at all bitter), it’s very nutritious and much handier than peeling or scooping.

I eat the skin for the fibre, but I don’t particularly like it

We are monkeys. Eat!!!

Kiwi skin is gross, furry and nasty in the mouth. Surely no one eats that!
