It's a matter of preferance. I prefer to leave the skin on because it's high in fiber and contains vitamin B12.

Kiwifruit can be eaten whole, like an apple (including the skin, which increases the tartness), cut in half and eaten like a passion fruit or peeled and sliced, like a pineapple. For people who prefer not to eat the skin, the fruit can be cut in half and then the flesh scooped out with a spoon. Kiwifruit is sometimes sold with a plastic tool designed for this purpose with a spoon at one end and a knife at the other. Another method is to slice the fruit into several coins about 0.25" thick, possibly cutting each coin into quarters, and serving it, skin-on, as a platter or with plain yogurt.
Kiwifruit can be peeled using a potato peeler, drawing up from the bottom towards the thicker, harder end where the fruit was attached to its branch. Cutting "against the grain" releases juice which lubricates the blade and a swifter, cleaner cut results.

Yes, the skin is not good. Peel if you are putting into a fruit salad or something. If you are eating it just plain, cut it in half, and scoop/eat out with a spoon, you have your own little bowl. it works great, and you don't have to peel it. Kiwis are good!

Yes, you have to peel a kiwi to eat it. The easiest way is to cut it in half and then just scoop out the flesh w/your spoon. It's easier than peeling.

You can peel it. I just cut in in half and spoon out the fruit with a plastic spoon. You can peel it with a knife and slice it nice for a party tray or to put on something. The skin is not something you generally would like to eat.

Well you dont exactly peel it but you do remove the skin. Just use a knife and cut it off. The skin is not something you want to eat.
