Organic ingredients are recommended. If some fruit and vegetables are difficult to source organic, make sure to wash thoroughly and remove skins.
Kiwi skin is very nutritious. It is particularly high in fibre, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin E and antioxidants. Eating the skin increases the nutritional value you get by 30-50%. However, kiwi skin can sometimes make your mouth feel tingly due to the fuzzy texture. If you prefer, remove the skin.
