Do you eat the skin on a kiwi fruit? My mate does and I am trying to persuade him its odd.?!


Question: ehm... no I don't. It's all hairy and tough, I think it wouldn't taste great. I cut it in half and then scoop them out with a teaspoon :-)

hell, no!

No I don't!!

I don't but I heard it is ok. At first someone told me it was poisonous but my mom said it is cool.

I do. Its meant to be the most nutritious part of the fruit

Yuck thats wrong!!

That's very nasty.

Yes and I wash it down with the skins on durians and pineapples as well.

Anything else is just wasteful

No, but i guess it won't hurt him, but don't quote me on the latter lol

Some people actually do! I don't. It's not like a peach skin at all!

I think its a little odd but good for him... if he likes it then heyy nice 1......its probably good for you!!!

it's all hairy.
Why would he eat hair?

I can't imagine it would feel good going down. they are rather hard and scratchy. I guess it would be like eating bark.... i don't know... it's odd. I've never eaten the skin, nor have I had a desire too.... Not to mention it's sorta hairy.....

Yep, always.......too fiddly peeling!

mmmm I love the skin! Maybe just because I've always eaten it....

No no no no no no no

No, and I dont know anyone that does eat the skin on the kiwi! I dont think he should do that, I'm not sure if you could digest it properly.

Plus it tastes horrible!!!!

Yeah i eat the skin too, so do the rest of my family, but my mates think its wierd just like you, i think it just depends on taste, and also the skin is really good for you. maybe you should try it?

my mum does... i think its really weird but shes all like... waste not want not

I do! its fine! and much less fiddly! and a bit hairy!

Some people would say posting questions like this on the internet is odd! When an action is benign, who are we to judge? :D

I have eaten kiwi fruit skin, but I usually don't.

It isn't going to hurt him, and it doesn't hurt you. Let him do it if he likes it.

eurghhhhhhhh thats disguisting

i do and its not odd i just make sure to wash it carefully i love eating it with the kiwi; its good. seriously its good you should try it.

yeah i do, it saves having to peel the bloody thing

Its ok as long as you wash it

i do. its not done me any harm. organic skins would be better.

I guess if he likes it.

My boyfriend eats the skin aswell he says it tastes alright but I think it's a little strange!

shave the kiwi first

It's a texture thing. I have done it once or twice, but I prefer my kiwi naked. It will stick to the inside mouth, and feel a little itchy. It's not the best tasting, but it's not horrible for you either.

Ewwww.....yuk. like eating hair. bad bad bad....cough cough
