My wee 7-month-old was playing with a (whole) feijoa and I forgot she is getting teeth! So she was actually getting right into it and chewing on it and probably swallowed some of the skin.
Is she going to die????!!!!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

In case anyone was wondering, the previous post is not supposed to seem like I'm freaking out, I'm just mildly concerned :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Eating the skin is fine. I do it all the time. I would let her eat too much though as it is quite acidic. I'm sure she's enjoying herself. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Its completely edible. My mum makes a feijoa jelly (like crabapple jelly for sammies not a dessert) out of the skins. |

We make a drink from the skins by popping them in a bowl, coating them with some sugar and adding some lemon balm or peppermint then covering with boiling water, leave it for several hours or overnight and it makes a really yummy drink. I made some this morning after breakfast and drank it with lunch  ------------- TTC #2 |
