How do you eat Kiwi Fruit??? - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

The skin has a leathery and hairy coat. Is that part discarded? Is the Kiwi typically peeled of this coat, like an orange, or do you slice the fruit in half and spoon out the fruit, like a grapefruit, leaving the coat? How do you eat it?

I've always loved Kiwi. It's deliciously sweet and tangy with a very pleasant almost slighty crunchy flesh.

Yes, the skin is discarded. I suppose you could peel it with a knife and then slice it, but I've always prefered to simply chop it down the middle, grab a spoon and go to town.

The seeds are edible, too.

Enjoy.

Thanks, Goya123. They don't look that good, but Kiwi is suppose to be a nutrition haven.

i had a friend who ate the thing skin and all, just picked it up and ate it like an apple! she seemed to have no ill effects. as long as you wash it first i suppose eating the skin is fine

I wouldn't suggest eating the skin at all. I've never even heard of that until the previous post.

You can eat it by taking of the skin with a knife or the spoon method, either way you're comfortable with.

It is quite delicious, and I'm not much of a fruit lover. Enjoy!
