    I eat little bits of it sometimes, mostly to remind me why I don't eat it more often.
    Then I wax me up some dental floss.

    I cut it off and don't eat it. It is bitter.

    Make sure you wash it well if you're going to eat it. By the way, some people are allergic to it. So, if you get a rash or develop blisters on your lips, seek medical attention right away.

    Most fruit the best way to tell if you can eat the skin is if it tastes good and is easy to eat. If not, you probably shouldn't eat it.

    Mangos are the best. It's a shame that I seem to be allergic to the average variety. I think that it is fine. They say that most of the fibre can be found in the skin. Happy toilet going! :)

    While this isn't exactly the same, I really enjoy eating the skin of a peach.

    Why would you want to?
    The inside is sweet, juicy and tasty, but the skin is not.

      I do eat the skin along with the mango. I didn't think it was strange until a friend mentioned it. The skin doesn't taste like anything it just makes it a bit tougher to bite into. It's good for you too.

        I live in the West Indies and NOBODY ever eats the skin of mangoes, nobody.
        I've never heard anybody say the skin had any nutritional value, either. Perhaps you should try the husk of a coconut, if you need roughage so much.

    I tried to eat the skin..once, BUT it didn't work out, it was so tough. So I gave up and just ate the inside.
