How do you eat this fruit called kiwi?

After more than 30 years using a small spoon, I changed. Now I'm eating the whole fruit including the skin.

With my mouth.

I'm allergic to the skin; it makes my mouth tingle. So, I eat it with a spoon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Eat the whole thing. The skin is sour but in a good way, and has most of the nutrients.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Whole, except for the tips.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Slice it and eat with a small spoon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Brush excess fuzz off with my hand, remove the ends and eat with skin on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I take the skin off with a potato peeler and then slice it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Why have I never thought of this!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is the skin even edible? I hate peeling that, which is why I use a spoon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Skin is edible just a little fuzzy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll try eating it with skin next time then, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You can also rub the hairs off first, on your pants or whatever. The hairs are not terrible, but I'm not a huge fan.

I cut them in half and jam them into my mouth and use my teeth to scrape along the inside of the skin.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I do the same with rats

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I wish I could be so unfettered

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

However the fuck you want. But it's a kiwifruit. A kiwi is a bird.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I lick mine for several weeks until I get to the centre.

Cut off both ends, slice in half, eat skin-on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I suet to scoop aswell but now eat the whole thing. Started doing it after seeing a coworker do it. They said you don't notice it and gave me one of thiers. I tried it that way, and they were right. I didn't notice it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why is everyone eating the skin?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Get a load of this guy, peeling their apples, grapes and tomatoes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Peeling apples is not nornal??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sure, but Kiwi fruit skins has hair ...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I cut both ends and slice it while keeping the skin on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

This, but sometimes I’ll roll a slice out of its skin as I eat it, like pulling the ripcord on a gyroscope. Then I’ll eat the strip of skin on its own. Only a monster licks the cream out of an Oreo and leaves the biscuit behind.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just put them in my mouth and start chewing.

I like the fuzz and the sourness.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Skin is where the good shit is at

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I cut it in half and kind of gnaw the innards out. I don't eat the skin, too fuzzy. I think some of modern kiwifruit have smoother skins, but I've been eating them since they were called Chinese gooseberries and to me they're forever fuzzy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Peel, slice, eat with a fork. I know that the skin is edible, I just don't like the texture.
