Eating Kiwi Fruit Skin – Is it OK?吃猕猴桃皮–可以吗？

Kiwi fruit skin is definitely edible, and there’s a lot of different theories about eating it.

In New Zealand, it’s very common to eat kiwi raw, with the skin, while in other parts of the world the vast majority of people eat only peeled kiwis.

Kiwi fruit skin contains high levels of flavonoids, insoluble fiber and antioxidants: these substances all have a beneficial effect on your body’s metabolic functions
(flavonoids and antioxidants) and on your digestive system and cardiovascular apparatus (insoluble fiber).

Common sense, however, should be practiced in this respect: while raw kiwi fruit skin contains these beneficial substances, it also tends to contain more than 99,95% of
of the pesticides in that particular fruit (if they have been used), which largely outweighs the benefits from flavonoids and antioxidants.

In addition, some people find the fuzzy feeling of the hairy skin to be annoying, so they remove the hairy layer before eating the skin: this procedure is generally
advised since it also removes most solid inedible debris that may have accumulated on the skin (it’s very common for any kiwi fruit to carry at least 0,1 grams of sand, earth or
dust on its surface). Long term consumption of even microscopic debris has been linked to the chance of developing several digestive diseases such as inflammations, displasia and colon polyps, so it’s usually a good idea to remove the
hairy layer, even if you enjoy eating kiwis with the skin.

On the other hand, if you’re sure about your kiwi being free from pesticides (for example, if you grew your kiwifruits in your own backyard), then eating the skin is a nice
added benefit to the already abundant health effects of kiwis: just remember that if you live in an urban area with lots of traffic, air pollution alone will be enough for your fruits’
skin to accumulate harmful quantities of heavy metals, so once again, please use your common sense.

猕猴桃皮绝对是可食用的，还有很多关于饮食的不同理论。

在新西兰，吃猕猴桃原是很常见的，与皮肤，而在绝大多数人只吃去皮猕猴桃世界其他地区。

猕猴桃皮中含有高浓度的黄酮类化合物，不溶性纤维和抗氧化剂：这些物质都对你身体的新陈代谢功能的有益作用

(黄酮类化合物和抗氧化剂)和你的消化系统和心血管系统的设备(不溶性纤维)。

常识，然而，要在这方面练习：当原猕猴桃皮中含有这些有益的物质，它也包含了超过99,95 %

在那个特殊的水果的农药(如果他们已经使用)，大大超过了黄酮类化合物和抗氧化剂的好处。

此外，一些人发现的多毛的皮肤是恼人的模糊的感觉，所以他们除去毛层前吃皮：这个程序是一般

建议由于它也消除了最坚实的不可食用的碎片，可能对皮肤累积(任何猕猴桃至少携带0,1克的沙子，泥土或是很常见的

在其表面的灰尘)。即使微小的碎片的长期消费已与患某些消化道疾病如炎症的机会，发育不良和结肠息肉，所以它通常是一个好主意，删除

毛层，即使你喜欢吃带皮的猕猴桃。

另一方面，如果你对猕猴桃无农药肯定(例如，如果你长大，你的猕猴桃在您自己的后院)，然后吃皮是一个很好的

额外的好处的猕猴桃已经丰富健康的影响：记住，如果你生活在交通繁忙的市区，仅空气污染就够你的水果
