Stop Peeling Your Fruit—Here’s Why

Turns out, the part of your fruit you’ve been tossing—yep, the skin—is actually a nutrient powerhouse! Apple and pear peels are loaded with fiber and antioxidants, kiwi fuzz triples the fiber, and grape skins are packed with heart-healthy resveratrol. Even cucumber and peach skins are worth eating for a vitamin boost. Just make sure to wash them well (and go organic if you can). Not all skins are edible (sorry, bananas), but for the rest, you might want to rethink your peeling habit! #NutritionHacks #EatTheSkin #HealthyHabits #FruitFacts #Health
