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

i save the ends with the leaves as a treat for my guinea pigs. they sure like them a lot more than i do
Pour riverwater in your shoes. It's cheap, it's easy, and nobody is stopping you.
Source of information?
I always thought the leaves are inedible 😅
Same, I feel like I immediately assume the leaves of any fruit or veggie are inedible
Well yippee, that's handy. I have eaten apples whole for years, the same thought never occurred to me for strawberries.
Hopefully you spit out the seeds? They contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide when it comes into contact with human digestive enzymes. A few apples worth of seeds isn't enough to kill you or anything, and the seeds are apparently safe if you swallow them whole.
I'm confused. You comment looks like two different people making different points lol

FWIW I have eaten apples whole for years, and I have not died of cyanide poisoning yet.
I used to eat them like that back in the day we had them in garden. It's not tasteless, it tastes like grass or something but it's not bad taste. Definitely better to eat than trow it away.
Also oranges! I useally take a big bite outta them without peeling
"nutritional value"... lol I've not tried but... sure. Btw you can do the same with Kiwis
I've heard a lot of fruits have high nutritional value in the parts people don't eat (like banana peels). But I'm also not a sociopath.
As the leaves decay they produce hydrogen cyanide. So...
