Ask The Hoff: Kiwi Skin Edible?

Hey Healthy Hoff!

Can I eat that furry skin on a kiwi? It's such a pain to peel those things.

Thanks!
Kiwi Lover






What's up Kiwi Lover!

Yes, that furry brown skin IS edible.  Just cut off the nubby ends and either slice or eat like you would an apple.  Be sure to wash first. 

While the skin is full of fiber and nutrients, that skin creeps me out (I have texture issues)!  So for me, I cut one end off, place the kiwi on that end then use the other nubby end to steady the fruit as I slice the skin off in downward sawing motion with a paring knife - then slice of chump.  No slipping, no fur!

Keep It Healthy!

Stretch that Maple Syrup!

Real Maple Syrup = Yummy!

Fake Maple Syrup = Yucky!

Real Maple Syrup = $$$

Stretched Real Maple Syrup = Awesome!

I don't know about you, but in my house, maple syrup flows like water!  Even in Ohio, where we make our own; getting your hands on the good stuff can put a dent in your wallet.

Instead of hoarding your stash like the Grinch, stretch that glorious gift from nature, while cutting down the calories and infusing some extra nutrients...

Here's how:

Mix 1/2 cup Maple Syrup with 1/2 cup unsweetened Apple Sauce


That's it, now share.
