Even if you’re a huge fan of kiwi, chances are you’re always throwing away its most nutritious part. Most people tend to peel the kiwi skins off before eating the fruit, but it turns out they’re 100% edible and come with a long list of health benefits.
More Nutritious
Kiwi is a nutrient-dense fruit, with or without skin, but it can be even better for you if you don’t peel it off. Its skin is an amazing source of vitamin C and vitamin E, and you’ll preserve more of their content by leaving this fruit as it is.
Fiber Intake
Kiwis contain a high concentration of fiber, but eating them with the skin makes them much more nutritious. Studies have shown that consuming this fruit as it is double or even triple its fiber intake.
Strange Taste?
The tricky part about eating kiwi skins is that you might find the taste unpleasant at first. You can get used to it by starting with golden or yellow kiwi, because they have smoother skin, or using whole kiwis to make your green smoothies.
