Why does Kiwi fruit hurt?!
How come kiwi fruit hurts your tongue and lips!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Some people have the same reaction with fresh pineapple and even raw banana!. I guess it's due to the acid or enzyme content but only seems to be temporary!. Perhaps it's an inherited trait!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It shouldn't, but I can only think of 2 reasons:
1/ Kiwifruit and also pineapple and papaya, contain an enzyme called proteinase – this attacks and breaks up the proteins, for this reason they're often used as natural tenderisers for meat!.
2/ It could be an alergic reaction!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe your allergic to it!. Do you have a cut on your lip or tongue, because kiwis are sour!? Maybe the sourness is the the thing that's hurting you!. I'm not quiet sure about the bleeding though!. You should see a doctor for that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
There's a great deal of citric acid in Kiwi!. Does the same thing happen when you take a bite of lemon!? If not, then you are allergic to Kiwi!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Kiwi fruit isn't supposed to hurt- unless there is something badly wrong with either the fruit or with you!. I suggest you talk with a doctor about it!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
