First time bought kiwis from NZ and they're shit compared to the cheap local ones.

those are premium trademark kiwis that you have to pay the gene engineering company that made them if you want to grow them
well unless you're china
they just stole them by buying just a little and illicitly reproducing them

I bought a pomegranate from an unknown country and half of it was rotten upon opening it.
I also wouldn't buy kiwis, especially gold kiwis from NZ. Gold kiwis are very delicate, bruising easily. Growers are still allowed to use chemicals that help invigorate bud production and those chems have been banned everywhere else except NZ. Same with 1080 used to reduce rat and predator populations.
I've never picked them because lol2tall, but they're an hourly wage task requiring the picker to roll the kiwis into their palms, and fully place them gently into their picking bag unlike green kiwis.

They're good

Wait you eat them directly like that while leaving the hairy skin still on?
GermanyBernd2021-11-27 00:37:50 · 5yNo. 128277reply
 
you can eat a kiwi in a few seconds without making a mess with a spoon, when i'm very lazy I just gobble them down over a sink
 
takes a bit to get used to it but the sour skin actually tastes really good combined with the sweet kiwi pulp and apparently it has many good nutrients (and chemicals which is why i usually buy organic kiwis from yurop)

a black dude once told me that they eat kiwis like that in africa, are you racist?

The skin is a great source of fibre. You can rub off the hairs if you're finicky about their texture.
I would also suggest boiling kiwis until their skin separates. They're a great treat.

I thought so too. Even the maori schizo I lived with near Greymouth thought I was mad until I boiled up some hash and agave him a boiled green kiwi for him to try.

After googling this actually makes sense, it seems to be common in some places to eat it like that, I however never even thought somebody would do it because of the disgusting ballhairs on it. But I do the same with potatoes, I always eat them with the skin and all for the good nutrients. But Kiwi just seems disgusting with the hairy skin. Is there an easy way to get rid of the ballhairs on it?
GermanyBernd2021-11-27 00:52:35 · 5yNo. 128286reply
based, i'm also too lazy to peel potatos
 
they aren't disgusting, just try it
kiwis without skin is for sissies, it was a bit weird the first few times i did this but now I can't go back

Where I grew up you were supposed to eat your potatoes with scales or otherwise you were an unsophisticated bydlo. Was never a fan of the rule as a kid, but as an adult I realise how dumb it is to peel your potatoes, completely pointless! Lose all the nutritions and you don't even gain any better taste.
 
I'll have to try the Kiwi at some point, my autism hates the idea of throwing away precious nutrients while consoooming foods, hence I cook/boil very little nowadays or on very low temperatures.

I peel the potatoes and make peels separately.
They make nice chips if you put them in oven.

I saw a bideo somewhere about botato skins being one of the number of modern food staples to be a bit hazardous to eat. The same goes for grains such as oats and wheat, carbonated drinks, soy, high fructose corn syrup.
SloveniaBernd2021-11-27 01:01:23 · 5yNo. 128293reply
only if botato skin was exposed to air while it was growing. it will make solanine in that case which is poisonous (it's how it defends from insect)
FinlandBernd2021-11-27 01:05:56 · 5yNo. 128295reply
99% of modern food seems poisoned tbh, I have been recently looking into it while trying to solve my gut problems, nowadays I only buy high quality food (there's also very high food regulations here compared to other countries which I am grateful for).
Soy I don't touch, probably all poisoned by pesticides, modern grains seems to be poison for my stomach and all those processed factory drinks I try to stay away from.
But a normal potato that grows in the ground should be very healthy, even though I try to not make it a big part of my diet

This is an interesting method, do you season them with something?

salt a little, sometimes I add rosemary

That plebs feel when your biggest culinary achievement is drying stale white bread on a clean pan so it becomes crunchy outside and soft and fresh inside, and frying rye bread with salt and olive oil. Goes great with kvass.
 
Well, yeah. I'm no dr. Lecter.

>The majority (30-80%) of the solanine in potatoes is found in the outer layer of the potato.[27] Therefore, peeling potatoes before cooking them reduces the glycoalkaloid intake from potato consumption
>Chewing a small piece of the raw potato peel before cooking can help determine the level of solanine contained in the potato; bitterness indicates high glycoalkaloid content.[19] If the potato has more than 0.2 mg/g of solanine, an immediate burning sensation will develop in the mouth.[19]
I learned something new. Guess I'll be removing my skins from now on.
>Green colouring under the skin strongly suggests solanine build-up in potatoes, although each process can occur without the other. A bitter taste in a potato is another – potentially more reliable – indicator of toxicity. Because of the bitter taste and appearance of such potatoes, solanine poisoning is rare outside conditions of food shortage. The symptoms are mainly vomiting and diarrhea, and the condition may be misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis.
Most grains have too many adverse effects on our digestive system. Wheat is a agitator of schizophrenia and slows our digestive tracts, while inhibiting beneficial bacteria growth. It may have saved our ancestors from countless famines but we should move away from it and the consequences of its agricultural production. Soy may be worse as it creates hormonal imbalances while ravaging the land, but nothing is as destructive to arable plots as maize is and how we process its syrup into a lot of our foods. It's downright disgusting the poverty we place ourselves into to indulge in what we believe is acceptable eating habits to please others or satisfy dopamine hits.
