The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!

I mean technically you're supposed to be able to eat the brown fuzzy skin on kiwis but I'm not going to be doing that

    You're missing out! Kiwis are great to eat whole. Way less messy as well (no need to dirty a knife or a spoon to eat them). Plus as an added bonus you get to freak out people who don't know that you can eat the skin!

    I once ate a whole kiwi in front of my wife. That's the closest we ever came to getting a divorce.

    One of my best friends swears by eating the skin. Haven't tried, I'm scared. Lol

    I eat it.. honestly, it is delicious. Slightly bitter and sour whilst adding some nice texture.

    Main reason I don't eat it is that it's unclear to me what else am I eating with the hairy skin of kiwi. It's not that easy to clean as let's say apple. And in random cases it causes peoeple to get mouth ulcers.

    I started suffering mouth ulcers shortly after independently discovering that the kiwi skin is edible. It took some time to figure out what the cause was, because the sores would develop days after eating them.
