Kiwis should be eaten with the skin on, amirite?

In full agreement with you. The skin gives it more texture and a better flavor.

I do it all the time, feels like a vegan version of biting a hamster. Exactly what I've been missing...

Always skin them.

by Welchhilbert 6 months ago

Yep. It's the same difference as apple with and without skin. You taste it, but it's not all that much of a difference. Even gives a nice little bite to it.

You eat hairy apples?

I eat what my baby drops on the floor so technically….

As long as you wash the outside of the kiwi you really don't notice the hairs at all past the initial bite

Well now I want to try a skinned apple

I used to think this was insane, then I tried it. I am a texture sensitive person and those little hairs seemed like they'd be disgusting, but I didn't notice them a bit. It's weird how much they seem to just disappear in the mouth. Have eaten way more kiwis since I found that because they are so convenient to eat now.

Okay, you've convinced me to at least try it. I'll grab a kiwi from the market next time I'm there and see!

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Agree, if you wash it first (as you should), you can barely feel the skin. It is not hairy at all.

by EmergencyAd 6 months ago

I can't believe people eat them without the skin. It's so weird.

serioisly it is the dumbest thing ever. "oh let me take this fruit with perectly paired sweetness and sourness like a natural sour jollyancher, and just turn it into sweet fruit." its insane

You're not the boss of me, and I don't eat fruit fur, it's all yours.

by Old-Letter5255 6 months ago

I'd gladly eat all your fruit fur, send it my way

It's got more nutrients. Personally I can't detect the hair at all once I take a bite.

by Dramatic_Move 6 months ago

You rub the hair off, goofus.

by Obvious-Court 6 months ago

Why would I do that??? lol, you run the hair off

by Old-Letter5255 6 months ago

Agreed. Plus the skin has more vitamin E than the fruit without the skin, not to mention good fiber intake.

You know Hitler is seen as one the worst human ever, and he only put a specific group in the oven. Now you want to eat them, and make a whole etiquette rule out of it? Oh you mean the fruit...

I find that eating kiwis with the skin makes it more tart than without. I love it and have convinced many people to try it (most like it but it isn't for everyone). For people concerned with the texture of the skin, I tell them to try it after rinsing the skin (as it makes the "hairs" less noticeable).

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Yup, love them like this, get all the fibre and goodness. If theyre not ripe enough though tastes gross

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I fully agree. People always say "but it is hairy boohoo''. They are in their own heads too much, in reality you barely notice the skin. The skin has more nutrients too :)

Wow I must try this. I have never considered it and I love Kiwis. The skin is the most flavorful part of an apple.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

So good, the skins got a solid texture and when it tastes of kiwi juice then you're sorted

by Strong-Bag 6 months ago

Yes, always

by Chestertillman 6 months ago

It's weird to me that people take the skin off.

by Character_Spread 6 months ago

Is it not hard to wash it? I would think some germs can easily stay in the hairy skin.

And mangos

I'm with OP. Nothing wrong with eating kiwis and bananas with the skin.

Isn't it cannibalism regardless of if the skin is on or not?

by Complete-Caramel 6 months ago

This is how I eat them! I think it's more nutritious?

It's furry.

Rinse the skin and it lessens that "hairy" texture by quite a bit. I find that eating kiwis with the skin tastes more tart.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I didn't know people wanted it more tart...

by Anonymous 6 months ago

They're not tart at all if they're ripe. They become very sweet if you let them ripen.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Theyre not ripe if it tastes tart, try a ripe soft (not squishy) one an much better

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I prefer kiwis with more tart than just sweet.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

Nooo the skin is tart at any stage

100% agreed. If you take the skin off you're a child, or have a sensory issue with the hair. There's no other reason to take it off
