Over the past year or so, on the occasions that I have bought a few kiwi fruit from Woolies/Coles, I have noticed that the skin has tasted far more sour and unappealing. The inside of the fruit is still quite delicious.
Throughout my decades on this earth, I have always been ok eating kiwi fruit by biting into the side and eat almost everything. Now I am finding myself coring it out and composting the skin.
Yes, I rinse it before I eat it.

You eat the skin? Say what?
Ewww… who eats the skin?
Me?
Me too.
I find it a little furry but from a health perspective, you've got one up on me. I think the gold kiwifruit skin would be nicer tho.
I don't eat the skin - I'm not an animal.

What's wrong with eating the skin? Most people eat the skin on apples or peaches or any other number of fruits. I used to peel carrots and potatoes because I thought that was what you are supposed to do. Now I don't, and its fine. I used to throw away the core in an apple, now I just eat it. Its perfectly edible. No trees have grown out of my head to-date.
To answer the question. No I haven't noticed the kiwi fruit skin changing flavour, because I have never eaten it.
For any root vegetable, the skin is very good for you as it has the highest concentration of nutrients pulled from the soil in it!
For any fruit or vegetable, the more of the fruit you eat (within reason, aka bananas!) the better off you will be as you are increasing the fibre in your diet and slowing the digestion of the fructose and other sugars with more complex things.
You should eat the tops of strawberries as well!
I do actually eat the strawberry tops. Specially in smoothies. Who got time for cutting them off
Probably has the highest concentration of pesticides too.
skin has tasted far more sour and unappealing = pesticides .
This is actually what I am thinking it is. Will start using mild soap as well as water to wash from now on.
You can sit them in a bowl of water for a while. I believe that can help too.
I think it's the 5G fam.
you have covid
