How do you eat kiwifruits? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 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.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

I, too, eat kiwis this way.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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

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.

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is correct. Once you get to the top you can use the stem as a little handle too.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Skin is edible just a little fuzzy

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I'll try eating it with skin next time then, thanks.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I do the same with rats

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I'm allerallergic to the skin; it makes my mouth tingle. So, I eat it with a spoon.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Slice it and eat with a small spoon

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I wish I could be so unfettered

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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.

Yellow ones I eat skin and all.

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Whole, except for the tips.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days 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.
