Mmm

It's one of the few fruits I actually love!

degsyhufc · 26-05-2011, 14:08

Haven't had one for years. Not too healthy as fruit goes when I had it as I used to dip it into a bowl of sugar with every bite

Tasty and tropical! I have some in the kitchen just now. Does anyone eat the skin? I'm not sure if it's some kind of kiwi-eating taboo, but I really like eating it all.

I eat it like a boiled egg. slice the top off and dig in with a teaspoon.

I've heard of someone who does this... it must be horrible. Hairy and chewy? Yuck! lol

Yes, as Hobbit says - like an egg

I have to say I find them a bit bland. I like fruit and try most of it but some things just don't do it for me. I tried a dragon fruit once. It looked impressive but tasted of nowt.

swingaleg · 27-05-2011, 12:37

I like them best when they're hard and a bit bitter............

You know, like me................

Peeled chopped and served with strawberries and raspebrries and topped of with a spoonful of creme fraiche.

This is exactly how I eat them too

out of the people I know who eat them I am the only one to do it this way. A lot of people peel them and I know a few who eat the whole thing.

You eat the skin....

tahinirocket · 28-05-2011, 19:09

I love Kiwis, but they have to be ripe. If not, they aren't that tasty. Full of vitamin C!

gmphmac · 28-05-2011, 20:56

Love them - I buy the packs from Aldi.

I tend to peel off the skin and cut the ends off before eating the fruit.

The skin is nice, not at all what you expect.

Give it as quick scrub under the tap and most the 'hairs' come off. Then cut the hard bits off the top and bottom and take a bite. You will be surprised. Its quite tart and has a harder texture, like apple skin, and makes a very pleasant contrast to the soft sweet flesh.

And like most fruit, most of the best of the nutrition is in the skin.

Give it a go, its really nice.
