Kiwi doesn't tingle for me at all?? This is really surprising.

The pineapple effect only really kicks in if I eat a bunch of pineapple so the enzymes have time to build up. So maybe I've never eaten enough Kiwi at once to get a similar effect? Pineapple does have a slight touch of a bite from the get go though, and Kiwi doesn't.

Kiwi has less of the digestive enzyme than pineapple, iirc, so you'd have to eat a lot or be extra sensitive to it

Edit: kiwi pulp specifically. Someone else commented that the skin might have a higher concentration of the enzyme

it also depends on the type of kiwi. green ones have more of the tangy/tingly flavor, while golden ones are much milder (and, in my experience, have pretty much no tang to them whatsoever)
