Does anyone know how to peel/eat a kiwi?

Thanks

Certainly do! Take a paring or other sharp knife, cut off each end, then simply slice off the hairy skin of the fruit. You will be left with a sort of barrel shaped green fruit. Slice horizontally across this piece and you will have 6-10 slices of nice fresh kiwi fruit. There are lots of tiny black seeds throughout the fruit. You eat the whole thing, so don't worry about the seeds. I eat Kiwi fruit on a bowl of All Bran, similar to banana slices or strawberries, or sometimes I use it to make a smoothie with banana and skimmed milk. You can also get a yellow variety called Kiwi Gold. Hope this helps.

You can also eat it by cutting it in half, grabbing a spoon and eating each half as if you were spooning something up out of a bowl, you don't have to peel it - but don't eat the skin of course!

Oh, I like this tip! It saves a lot of the flesh and a lot of time! Good idea!!! :)

 I do this with Dragon Fruit too... ever since I tried using a potato peeler and got the 'furry' bit of the kiwi all over it lol

I've also seen hairless kiwis at the supermarket, but I  won't by these on the grounds that they just don't look right!

I just wash them, and eat them, skin and all, like an apple!  My friends give me odd looks, but my Aussie college roommate ate them like this, and once you get over the idea that the skin is prickly, it's great!

you also dont have to use a knife to cut the skin off, using a vege peeler gets much closer so you lose less of the fruit.  Just be gentle with it and it'll be fine! :)

I just eat the skin, extra vitamins right? 

If you cut it into thin pieces with the skin on and put it in a spinach salad, its really good. 

I just cut the top off and spoon it out

I usually cut off the ends, then peel it with a veggie peeler. if it has lots of fur on it i give it a quick rinse  under cold water. Then slice it and enjoy!

My favorite way to eat kiwis is to dicce one up and put in the bottom of a martini glass and topped with 1/4 cup of light vanilla ice cream. only 100 calories and seems so special served in the martini glass!

I cut it in half and spoon the insides out. And eat it :D

the martini glass sounds like a good idea, but I think I would feel deprived with the lack of vodka. 

You guys should try gold kiwifruit, they're so much sweeter and they aren't hairy so you can just bite into them, skin included :)

oh and now they have kiwiberries on the market too. they are green and round, and are slightly larger than cherries. Sweeter than regular kiwi, and they're edible whole. (:

i slice it like a banana and just eat the skin. i like the way it tastes (:
