Question submitted by Asker:
Do you eat the peel of a kiwi?
Or are you suppost to peel it
Best Answer (chosen by Asker):
You can peel it, you can scoop out the fruit and eat it with a spoon. You can eat the peel , it will not harm you, but it does not have the best taste. Some people do eat the peel and enjoy it.If you do eat the peel, make sure to scrub it clean prior to eating it( as you would with any edible peel).
Asker’s Comment:
Thats what I figured. My boyfriend & daughter were debating this last night & I always like to “pole the people” =)
Some idiot told me if I wanted to eat something brown & fuzzy I should shoot myself. I bet he doesnt have many girlfriends! LOL

When I lived in New Zealand we would cut the kiwi fruit in half and then use a spoon to eat out the insides. The peel provided to be a nice little “cup” to eat out of. Very nice breakfast snack. I’ve also seen some restaurants slice kiwis and leave the skin on for color.
Its your choice but normally people dont eat the peel.
Good question. I always liked kiwis, but could never figure out the easiest way to eat them.
hell no, i dont think that the outside of a kiwi was meant to be eaten, not where i come from, now if you were an animail, i would say “yea,” eat the breaks off it, otherwise, not so.
My boyfriends grandmother ate the peel, and she got an allergic reaction to it.
My advice, don’t eat it.
i ate it once and almost died
I’ve heard you can eat the peel so if you can get past the fuzziness of it, go for it!
“pole” people sounds painful. Instead, I prefer to “poll” people and not eat the skin as well.
If you are desperate and lazy, then go ahead and eat the peel. If you want to be normal and not barbaric, then just eat the green stuff. Oh, don’t eat the black seeds. 
I first eat the soft flesh, then I chew the peel up with the remainder of the flesh which gives a more tart flavor, then I usually spit out the peel.
do which ever tastes the best to you! life is short!
I actually enjoy the skin…. & I’m sure it’s full of fiber, heh.
I’ve eaten kiwi for almost 20 years by washing the outside, cutting off/biting off the “stem” end, and eating the rest of the kiwi. The skin doesn’t have the best taste but, I acquired a taste for eating it!
Yea, you only eat the peel. The green stuff inside is gross.
Eat it 
… I love the skin of the kiwi .. and it’s so good for you!
I like the peel. While the fuzz is harsher than that of a peach, I think the peel adds depth to the overall flavor of the kiwi. The inside is so smooth and sweet, I find the bitter rougher peel a nice compliment. After washing, I just cut off the ends and eat it like an apple.
don’t be crazy!!!! that peel will make your tongue itch!!!! it’s worse than that pineapple itchy-tongue feeling!!!!
It is actually more healthier is you eat the skin, it has more fiber. I have always ate the peel just because there was never a trash can around or i wasnt outside. Anyway you look at it, its a kiwi
skin has a bad taste.
peel it , the cover isn’t what you want
