I have an aunt who eat kiwi fruit like an apple. Just hold it in your hand, and bite. She chews it with and all.

She's otherwise a normal and kind person.

    It's good this way.

    It's not like a banana or a watermelon or something. The only reason people think it's weird is the texture, but by the time you're chewing the bite it's not evident. I wouldn't lick a kiwi or run my lips on it unless you're a total weirdo, but I can recommend eating it whole. It adds just a little tart flavor and a little more crunch to the experience (and also you don't need a spoon anymore).

    That's not at all comparable.
    Eating Kiwi with skin is awesome.

    I mean I haven't eaten kiwis in a long while, and didn't eat the skin, but if I had to choose, I'd definitely choose kiwi skin over mango skin.

    Kiwi skin just seems like a tad chewy perhaps (good fiber), but mango skin seems like it might make me nauseous even if I could get it down.

    I'd describe kiwi skin as a slightly tougher edible fuit skin. I love its taste and texture. Don't even really notice the fuzziness on the outside because the juices from the inside dominate the mouth feel in the short period before you destroy the surface by chewing, and the hairs are brittle enough that they don't really get stuck between the teeth or anything (more likely to get a piece of skin sticking along a smooth surface like the side of a tooth or roof of your mouth, but those are easy to free).

    It's like a cross between cucumber skin (toughness) and tomato skin (strength), but with a sour and bitter kiwi flavour when you chew through it. Not sure I'd enjoy them without the sweetness of the kiwi meat going along with it.
