Can you eat kiwi with the skin: understanding the intricacies of the exotic fruit
The exotic kiwi has long been a permanent fixture in Russian refrigerators.
Many people prefer to eat it without the peel, but in fact the fruit can be eaten with it.
Moreover, in some respects, the aromatic pulp is seriously inferior to the fruit skin.
Why do we eat kiwis with the skin on?
Kiwi peel contains 50% more fiber than its pulp, which in turn reduces bad cholesterol and aids digestion.
The fruit's hairy skin also contains 32% more folic acid, which is involved in the process of hematopoiesis and helps pregnant women carry a fetus.
Kiwi peel contains an order of magnitude more vitamins E and C, which are natural antioxidants that help maintain youth and health.
Therefore, kiwi can be safely eaten with the skin. It is only important to take into account one point: the fruit must be thoroughly washed under running water, and then rinsed with boiled water before consumption.
We previously wrote about how kiwi can affect blood sugar levels.
