I hate this. Kiwis taste sooooo good. But I also have some mild allergy. Same with pineapples.
oh man, that totally sucks
those fruit are soooooooo good.
I love food that digests me back!
It's not fun unless it's a fair duel
I love Kiwifruit season when they get down to like $1/kg
I eat a lot of them.
The juice is great for tenderizing meat also.
Man, where do you live? I'm in Minnesota, and our kiwi have to come from halfway around the globe. $1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.
I once dated a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She used to mock us mainlanders for buying starfruit. First of all, because she thought they aren't a very good fruit, but second because apparently where she grew up, they were something of a pest plant: they were everywhere and dropped their fruit on the sidewalk and you'd step on them if you weren't careful and it'd make a mess.
It's all perspective, huh?
Less than 2 hrs from the major kiwifruit producing region.
Mid-season, I could drive to an orchard and back before lunch. To buy the fruit even cheaper in bulk.
Nice. Jelly.
Based pineapple enjoyer
Next time try your pineapple with a dash of salt.
Thank you!!! I was actually going to ask how I could chip away at the roof of my mouth at the same time my fruit eats my tongue.
Jk. Does it make it better?
Pineapple.actively bites you back, so it might not be a mild allergy.
Have you tried cooking a pineapple and then eating it and see if you still have symptoms
Well, I love pizza hawaii...
I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?
Why would you need a spoon? It's all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.
Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left...
You mean split it open and eat it like those dudes who eat watermelon competitively, yeah?
No need to split it, just bite into it.
Had this too as a kid they made me vomit. Now it's completely gone and I have hayfever
I once made pineapple sandwich. It didn't really work, it sort of dissolved the bread. Taste great though
