Fruits are a great source of vitamins that our body uses to stay healthy. Nutrition aside, fruits are just downright delicious. Many different fruits are contained within a peel. To get to the delicious center we remove the skin and toss it. Stop right there! Did you know by tossing out the peel of many common fruits you’re also throwing away additional nutrients, which can offer health benefits? It’s true!
The peel of a fruit may not look appealing as most of them get bruised in transit. But by only eating what’s on the inside, you put a limit on how beneficial that fruit could have been for you.
If you’re still skeptical, let us further explain a few different fruit peels that are edible and can help boost your health.
