Can you eat kiwi fruit 'raw'?

If you wash it could you eat them like an apple or do you always have to peel them?

I think you can't, my friend at work says you can.

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. 🥝🥝🥝

@KiwiBird I am considering you the authority on this given your name 😄

@KiwiBird So you're saying you wouldn't eat the skin of the regular variety

@KiwiBird not true the original kiwi can be eaten without peeling just like a peach

@Ynot1more I did not say it could not be eaten that way. Just that I wouldn't do it myself. Read all my comments before judging me.
