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.

I just bite into it like an apple.

People are often disgusted, which just makes it taste all the sweeter.

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I, too, eat kiwis this way.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

4, at minimum

[–] alphacyberranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

I don't think people of New Zealand will appreciate you biting them.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

Do it with a banana or a pineapple to really freak people out. Watermelons and pomegranates are also options.

Wait, this isn't how everyone else eats them?

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But how do you eat apples? I eat the whole thing, ass first, pit and all.

I'm weird. I cut the skin off, eat the flesh, then eat the skin. There's just a different texture between the two and I like to experience them individually.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 10 points 10 months ago

I will try this once, just because of this thread.

But until then, I disagree and you're a monster

[–] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why is everyone eating the skin?

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but Kiwi fruit skins has hair ...

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

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months 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.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 8 points 10 months ago

I do the same with rats

[–] AsudoxDev@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] cristo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Skin is edible just a little fuzzy

People mention eating it whole... I at least shave the hair off it first.

[–] artichokecustard@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

schick? venus?

[–] Xyre@lemmus.org 4 points 10 months ago

Honestly, it has a better mouth feel when they're waxed.

Yellow ones I eat skin and all.

Green ones get hollowed out with the thinnest teaspoon we have.

[–] Oaksey@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just put them in my mouth and start chewing.

I like the fuzz and the sourness.

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

Don't like the fuzziness of the skin, but I know you can eat it all.

Same as some people peel apples and some don't. Eat it how you want and don't worry what others do/think.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

I wish I could be so unfettered

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Use a knife to cut off the ends, then to slice away the skin. Finally, cut it into quarters and eat it.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months 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.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I pressed ctrl + F, typed in "wash", and your comment was the only mention. Are people forgetting to wash fruit or forgetting to say they wash fruit?

I peel it and then eat it

you can also cut it in half and scoop it out if you like

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Slice it and eat with a small spoon

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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