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 eat the whole lot - skin n all. All my
Family do

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

I was worrying about Hornist too.

Gastric apple orchards are no joke, I can promise you!

Er no.

I cut the top off like they are boiled eggs and scoop them out!

It's the tastiest part

In the nicest possible way OP, you're a proper weirdo!! Do you eat banana skins and orange peel too?

Tastiest and apparently most nutritious just like the skin of a mouse, I expect

@SchadenfreudePersonified I did double take but then Libby made perfect sense.

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

How do you know??? Actually, please don't answer that. Boak.

I sometimes eat it when I can't be bothered. Particularly if the kiwi is soft. It's not a big deal.

I only ate them rarely because they were so hard to peel and I hated the waste. Then a colleague told me the skin is edible. And it is! Joy!

And, now, thank you, thank you, thank you to @onalongsabbatical for the mango skin tip. The more time eating and the less time peeling the better.

OP you are what is often referred to on MN as a savage.

A very savage savage.

Another who just cuts in half and scoops it out

What a faff with the scooping and spooning. So dainty. The skin is edible and I eat it.

My kids happily yomp kiwis and mango, skins and all (though i do wash them first). And the skin of butternut squash (cooked).

I eat the skin off a kiwi its fine but people are very squeamish when they see me do it.

It's fine. My dd ONLY likes the skin and not the middle part!

Cut it in half.eat it with a spoon

just no

i’m deathly allergic to kiwis and even i know that’s forbidden

Nope, nope, nope, and I eat apple cores so I'm not generally fussy.

I was going to say, it’s like those weirdos who eat apple cores but apparently even you people have standards... 😬

Don’t peel them, cut them in half and scoop the innards out with a teaspoon.

Cut it in half.eat it with a spoon

Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?

Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!

No i don’t. My family had a kiwi farm when we were kids which i sometimes visited and i remember the skin being considered an irritant to some people, especially children, due to a high concentration of something within the skin (can’t remember what). So no never eaten it and never would i guess. I know some people do and they are still alive though.

Just no
