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 voted Yabu because I didn't know you could eat it. Like @SunshineCake I'm now wondering at the time I wasted.next time I get a kiwi I'm eating it all!

Hairy and I doubt whether you could ever clean it enough to rid it of bacteria. I wash apples etc.

The feel of Kiwi skin gives me the heebie jeebies, I hate touching them, no way could I eat it.

@OptimisticSix I hope we have a convert!

Kiwi's are disgusting both inside and out. Furry skin and weird pippiness inside. Yuck.

No no no that is disgusting who would eat furry green skin!

Oh God no, it would be like eating animal fur, yuk.

Kiwis are best eaten like boiled eggs; scooped out from the shell/skin.

When travelling in NZ we bought a little, plastic, serrated, runcible-spoon gadget designed for the job. I wish we'd bought a dozen as I've never found one since.

Lucid are great for munching, slurping, slicing and putting in fruit salads or atop cakes as decoration. I discovered their only failing when I added them to my homemade pitted mini yoghurts. There's a reason you can't get kiwi yoghurt. 🤢

Autocorrect, hun, you need a little lie-down. Lucid for kiwis? Really?! 😄

I only voted YABU because there was no button for YABVVVVVVU.

Yer a wrong'un, OP.

I do when I'm putting in a smoothie

I agree the skin isn't particularly lovely, but then peeling it is a pain in the arse so I usually just eat the whole thing. More fibre. YANBU

The skin is delicious - only on golden kiwifruit though. Haven't seen them in the uk. Hairless!

Nope, cut in half and scoop with a spoon

I often eat the skin.

I always used to peel and slice (if it was going in a fruit salad) or halve and scoop out with a teaspoon but stopped doing that a couple of years ago when I was having trouble peeling an overripe one and realised that the skin was fine.

If I was putting them for a fruit salad that other people were going to eat I'd still peel them, but if just for me I wouldn't bother.

Never even considered it, never known anyone eat it either. Definitely weird, it’s bloody furry.

I always eat the skin! Why wouldn't you? And golden kiwis are better and in most supermarkets now. The skin on those is really smooth and they're scrummy. I suggest to anyone who isn't a kiwi-skin eater but wants to try, to give a golden kiwi a go first

Just seen a PP say that they don't find golden kiwis in the UK, but I've definitely bought them in the big supermarkets. Maybe they're more seasonal?

Yuck, OP! Y A B V V V U!
Do you eat mango and banana peels too?

Going to have a lie down now to recover from this gastronomic unspeakableness.
Am very quietly appalled.

I think YABU, but my DS also eats the skin, so I won't vote.

Wtf have I just read

I am clearly part of the zeitgeist as I have just this year decided to eat kiwis skin-on. It is fine and I can pretend I am Ozzy Osborne eating a bat :)

I've also just realised this year that you can make a giant cup-a-soup by putting TWO sachets in a big mug, so my eating habits have really gone uphill.

The skins are very nutritious!

I didn’t know you were SUPPOSED to peel them I’ve always eaten the skin!
