I realize this may make me sound like a psychopath, but I legitimately do eat my kiwi fruits like this.
I straight up bite into it unpeeled and am not bothered by the inconsequential fuzzy part because it's immediately immersed in the delicious fruit pulp.
So, like a peach, huh? I'm half tempted to try this now.
With my mouth.
I just bite into it like an apple.
People are often disgusted, which just makes it taste all the sweeter.
I, too, eat kiwis this way.
I don't think people of New Zealand will appreciate you biting them.
There's at least 3 of us!
4, brothers
5 of us! Hello fellow enlightenment humans!
4, at minimum
Do it with a banana or a pineapple to really freak people out. Watermelons and pomegranates are also options.
Coconuts
Wait, this isn't how everyone else eats them?
But how do you eat apples? I eat the whole thing, ass first, pit and all.
This is correct. Once you get to the top you can use the stem as a little handle too.
I lick mine for several weeks until I get to the centre.
Is the skin even edible? I hate peeling that, which is why I use a spoon.
Skin is edible just a little fuzzy
I'll try eating it with skin next time then, thanks.
You can also rub the hairs off first, on your pants or whatever. The hairs are not terrible, but I'm not a huge fan.
I cut them in half and jam them into my mouth and use my teeth to scrape along the inside of the skin.
I do the same with rats
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.
I will try this once, just because of this thread.
But until then, I disagree and you're a monster
Brush excess fuzz off with my hand, remove the ends and eat with skin on.
I'm allerallergic to the skin; it makes my mouth tingle. So, I eat it with a spoon.
Why is everyone eating the skin?
Eat the whole thing. The skin is sour but in a good way, and has most of the nutrients.
Spoon.
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.
Slice it and eat with a small spoon
I wish I could be so unfettered
People mention eating it whole... I at least shave the hair off it first.
I usually rinse them. The spines relax enough when wet.
Alternatively there's the golden kiwis which have skin that remind me of pears, just thicker. They don't have spines. I'd still to prefer to rinse them, but more because you should rinse fruits and veggies if you're going to eat the skin.
schick? venus?
Yellow ones I eat skin and all.
Green ones get hollowed out with the thinnest teaspoon we have.
I cut both ends and slice it while keeping the skin on.
I take the skin off with a potato peeler and then slice it.
I just put them in my mouth and start chewing.
I like the fuzz and the sourness.
However the fuck you want. But it's a kiwifruit. A kiwi is a bird.
Whole, except for the tips.
Cut off both ends, slice in half, eat skin-on.
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.
