Absolutly
I eat it all the time. Just wash it good and enjoy.
The skin ads fiber to your diet :)

Yes it can!
Kiwi fruit can be peeled with a vegetable peeler or sharp paring knife. (Peeling is easier if the ends of the fruit are cut off first.) To eat the fruit with a spoon, cut it in half crosswise or lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. If the peachlike fuzz is rubbed off, the fruit can be eaten skin and all.

Hello,
Yes, it is, but you may be put off where there are little short hairs on the outside of the skin, but you can eat it, or just peel of the skin, if Kiwi is ripe enough, the skin will easily peel off.....

Yes the skin is totally edible, but why eat it when it tastes like crap, why not just stick to the tasty part in the centre!

i ate it for years with the skin on,thinking thats how you supposed to eat it,it never did me any harm,and to be honest it didnt taste that bad either,i only found out 2yrs ago that you supposed to peel it,i wont eat it with the skin on now,having said that as a child (up until the age of 11) i used to peel an orange eat the peel,then eat the orange,it left an horrible taste in my mouth,but dont know whether it was to show off in front of my friends or laziness to walk to the bin,but whatever it was,i dont do it now,yuk,but kiwi skin tastes nicer!

do you know i was thinking exactly the same thing about mangos the other day!!! I thought they would be but my mum said theyre not, I would imagine they might be as the goodness is generally in the skins of things, just put it in the blender and it should be sound, do you know about mangos while we are on the subject?????????????

Yes, you must peel this fruit, as you would an orange. the skin is not really digestible. I don't recommend it.

Yes but people tend not to because of the furry tongue factor.

It's edible but it wouldn't be very tastey
