Poll: Kiwi fruit - skin on or off (poll please?)

[haaammit]

I've been having kiwi fruit chopped up in my muesli for breakfast for quite a while now. I just simply give it a quick rinse, halve it, cut out the tiny hard stalk at the end and then chop it up into bite sized chunks and bung it in and chow down. "Apparently" this is odd behaviour, and you *should* either skin them or eat them like a boiled egg with a spoon! What say you lot? Do you peel/skin or just east the whole thing? I just reckon as long as it's clean it's just extra fibre. Texture wise, it's like a thick skinned peach. Doesn't fuss me at any rate.

Possible poll options:

I eat 'em skin and all
Eeeewwww no, I peel 'em first

I guess it's fine if you want to eat it, but there's no way I'm eating the skin.

Personally I don't eat them because I don't like the unavoidable seeds texture. Same reason I won't have seeded jam, yogurt with bits, or non-smooth fruit juice.

kiwis are too “hairy” to eat with skin, so I cut in half and spoon the flesh. I would eat with skin, but hate that “hairs” texture.

 

[Deibu]

Would never eat the skin myself either.

I take it off as its not nice but then i dont usually have it as there are far nicer fruit

You'd have to be a weirdo to like and eat hairy skin.

Yack.

Scoop it out you freak, also pancake.

 

[tom_nieto]

Have tried both. Skin off is preferable.

I thought literally almost everyone scoops them out, peeling them would be a messy fiddly faf in my opinion

 

[EdwardTeach]

I never eat kiwi skin

 

[Scam]

I eat them skin and all

 

[SixTwoSix]

Cut in half, teaspoon, scoop out the innards, simples.

I can't eat regular kiwis since I discovered golden kiwis however, the regular ones taste horrid by comparison.

On a side note, Kiwis have almost double the vitamin C of Oranges.

Skin on for me. I don’t eat them often though as they, along with pineapple, make my tongue sore

I give mine a short back and sides with a Remington first.

Avocados just get thrown straight in the bin - foul things.......

Sometimes I eat the skin if I'm feeling lazy. Need to wipe it down on a surface to get rid of all the little hairs though.

I quite often eat the skin to mangoes

 

[rodders]

There's no, cut it in half and scoope it out with a tea spoon option.

Just seen others said that above too....

 

[gingergundog]

Didn't even know you could eat the skin, not gonna start now though.

Interesting, did not know this.
