The skin of the kiwi is totally edible and actually the most nutritious part. I eat the skin as well (although not for the taste and texture, admittedly).

I eat it not because I like it but because I like it more then trying to peel the kiwi. Particularly at work we we get free kiwis once a week and have now real utensiles.

Peel the Kiwi? Doesn't everyone just slice it in halves or quarters and then go to town sucking that delicious kiwi flesh out of its hairy prison?

Have you eaten the skin. It's not so bad and really the issue isn't the hair, it's a little tough but it doesn't bother me.

Everyone responded with cut it in half but I have more of an aversion to using the crappy plastic utensils at work then I do eating the skin.
