Can you eat kiwi fruit 'raw'?

There is a variety call Kiwifruit Gold which has a relatively smooth skin and can be eaten. Not very tasty....almost bland. The original 'hairy one' needs peeling or just scoop the flesh out with a teaspoon.

So you are both right. 🥝🥝🥝

Someone told me you can scrub them well and eat the peel, it is supposed to be a good source of fiber but would be too harsh for me.

Kiwifruit vodka,straight out of freezer pour into glass,Cheers

Slice in half and scoop out with teaspoon. Save yourself the time of peeling

There is no accounting for taste. Yes the rinds are edible the texture is off putting for most people but the rinds are still edible. My cousin eats the entire apple leaving only the stem when he is done. My father used to eat the white part off a banana peel. I always left the apple core and seeds when I was done eating an apple and can't stand the inside of a banana peel but to each their own.

I normally lop the top off and dig in with a spork

You can eat almost all of it but at one end (can't remember if it's top or bottom) there is a short pointed bit that will really hurt if you get it in the wrong part of your mouth. I recommend slicing around the ends and pulling out those bits and you will see what I was talking about.
It's about 3mm long and has a sharp tip.

I would always peel it first

Wtf ppl cook them?!!

you mean the really tough hairy kiwis or the smooth ones? I ate a hairy one once to prove a point. But I will not do it a second time. The texture was gross.

You can eat the skin of a kiwi, you may get slight ‘tummy trouble’ but nothing major. I think (but don’t know for certain) that most of the vitamins are in the skin, outer flesh.

You bet! And it’s good… not only a bit tangy and sweet, the skin albeit fuzzy is a good source of fiber. And it goes well taste and presentation wise in a parfait!

Yeah but why would you do that. The texture feels like hair 🌚
Definitely peel em.

I would never think to eat it like an apple without peeling it first. I love kiwi but no matter how I eat it I make a mess 🙈

Sure you can eat it. The skin is a little fuzzy so it's repellent to some people but I don't really care so I can just go for the whole thing.

I think you can but most people wouldN,t do that because of the furry texture, not a nice consistency.

Yes you can, my father sometimes does that and never had any problems.

My daughter eats it with tje peel on, just like an apple

I peel them. I wouldn't dream of eating the skin 😱🤮

I've always peeled them.

Kiwi fruit is great

You can, but the hairs on the kiwi will irritate your mouth and especially your tongue. I eat few kiwis angmore because of the hairs.

Please get 2 for friend coming Monday to have them both instead of routine meal. Keep knife handy.

Sure you can, or at least I do and I know others that do too. Washing them removes the fuzzy stuff 😁

Don't know. But I just bought some in a CAN....scared to open it.🥺😮

I use my potato peeler. Never considered eating the skin.

I've never tried, but the husk on a kiwi does not seem to be edible.

Well I'd never heard of anyone doing it but seems I'm mistaken!

Most people i know cut them in half and eat the inside with a spoon...

Eh. Better just stick to donuts

The skin is edible, just not palatable.

Well I know they go pretty good in parfaits

Yes you can , though I prefer to peel them first

🤷🏻‍♀️ I eat it like an apple. I like the tart skin.

I eat them just like an apple, skin and everything

I guess so but I wouldn't lol

I have never eaten kiwi fruit. 😐

First i peel off...then only i can eat it

I always eat the skin of the kiwi

U can eat the fir...

I don’t cook my fruit

I must peel it

Yes, you can. The skin is a good source of fibre. It can irritate the mouth in a few cases but that won't happen for most people.
