Peel pieces are a great source of fiber. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. According to Dr Haroon, a nutritionist, “if you don’t like eating fruit peel, boiling the peel can make an excellent tea.”

In addition, some types of peel are used for food and some for skin protection. Experts say that 33% of the fiber in the peel is in the pulp and antioxidants can be 328 times higher.

This amount may be different in different fruits and vegetables, but everyone agrees that the benefits of peel pieces are undeniable. Here, some fruits and vegetables are mentioned that should not be peeled for consumption.

The peel pieces of potatoes, cherries, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apples, apricots, tomatoes, kiwi, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, oranges, limes, and lemons should be used for flavour.

However, pumpkin, pineapple, avocado, garlic, onion, etc. should be used after peeling.
