Valuable peeling
Hold Onto That Peel! 🥕
Why Skins on Pears, Carrots, Potatoes, Apples, Zucchini & Kiwis Pack a Nutritional Punch.
Eating the skin of these everyday fruits and veggies is a simple upgrade with big benefits:
🍃 Fiber boost: Skins can contain up to 50 % more fiber—like in kiwi—helping digestion, fullness, and better blood sugar and cholesterol control.
💊 Micronutrient goldmine: Potato peel is brimming with vitamin C, potassium, folate, magnesium, and phosphorus—up to 175 % more in some cases.
🛡️ Antioxidant advantage: Fruit peels are antioxidant-rich—apple skin offers quercetin and polyphenols, pear and carrot skins deliver valuable antioxidants too.
🌍 Eco-win: Less peeling = less food waste. Peels contain nutrients, so toss them—just wash thoroughly to remove any residues.
Smart tip: Always scrub produce well. Then enjoy them whole—skinned or sliced—with their peel on to unlock the full nutritional potential!
