The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!
Why YSK: It’s an easy way to eat strawberries faster and with less mess while reducing food waste.
You can eat the skin on a kiwifruit too, but ew.
Oh man, I’m gonna freak out my friends with this.
If it’s too fuzzy yes but there are some with a lot less fuzz and the skin adds a great tartness to a properly ripe kiwi. I’d imagine there’s bonus nutritional value to boot!
Tons of vitamin E, folates, and antioxidants apparently
Pour riverwater in your shoes. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and nobody is stopping you.
Did this get reposted somewhere notable recently? This is the third time today I’ve seen someone reference this ten year old post
Not that I know of. That’s just what “eat the strawberry stem because it won’t hurt you” reminded me of.
Fair enough! It’s a classic.
Also you can feed strawberry tops and leaves to dogs, if you have any, in moderation. They lose their minds over them!
“nutritional value”… lol I’ve not tried but… sure. Btw you can do the same with Kiwis
I’ve heard a lot of fruits have high nutritional value in the parts people don’t eat (like banana peels). But I’m also not a sociopath.
I’m pretty sure even gorillas don’t eat the peals. We should follow their example
Ride wife life good
As the leaves decay they produce hydrogen cyanide. So…
Don’t eat decaying leaves. Got it.
I mean technically you’re supposed to be able to eat the brown fuzzy skin on kiwis but I’m not going to be doing that
Yeah I’m with ya! I’ll continue to lick all those brown fuzzy fibers off the fruit and proceed to cough it all up like a hairball before eating like GOD intended!
Main reason I don’t eat it is that it’s unclear to me what else am I eating with the hairy skin of kiwi. It’s not that easy to clean as let’s say apple. And in random cases it causes peoeple to get mouth ulcers.
I started suffering mouth ulcers shortly after independently discovering that the kiwi skin is edible. It took some time to figure out what the cause was, because the sores would develop days after eating them.
Source of information?
I made it the fuck up!
Also oranges! I useally take a big bite outta them without peeling
