Is it good to eat a fruit with it's skin? Do you eat the fruit with skin?

i think it's common sense.

It is true that if we do eat the fruit with its skin, we are more enriched with the vitamins and minerals that it contains, but yes, we cannot eat the banana etc, with its skin on(though there are still many people who do not know that they have to peel the skin and have it ! )Yet there are other kinds of fruits that can be eaten with the skin on, even though we prefer to throw off the skin, like many people discard the skin of apples, chikoo etc, which are full of vitamins. Other fruits where the skin is to be discarded, i guess nature has made it that way, and we couldnt be loosing much of the vitamins from it.

Certain fruits you are meant to eat the skin, ie: apples, pears, oranges. Others like pineapples and bananas, you are meant to remove the outer layer to find the delicious tender fruit inside. I do agree that with some fruits, it is better to eat the skins because you get more vitamins and fiber from eating it this way.

I think so. But it depends on the fruits. For example, I will eat the skins for grapes, apples... I don't eat the skins for pears, pineapples, bananas, watermelons...

Sure I peel oranges and bananas. But our locally grown fruit like apples, pears and plums I wash and eat as is.

I never eat bananas with the skin (although monkeys do that) nor oranges or that kind a food but I eat apples and pears with the skin, figs too.

hii, Buchi_bulla! eating with skin is healthyer than diismiss the skin for apple and potato. their mineral and vitamins are near the skin!

Actually the skin of the fruit is the section of the fruit which has teh most vitaminic content. In terms of bananas, and oranges, if you actually watch placeslike fresco produce you rfruit juice or milk shake they have extremely powerfull blenders which blend the entire fruit to juice inclusive of peel,these are retailing at about 120 pounds each

From what I know eating fruit that has skin on it is good for you. Most of the vitamins are in the skin of the fruit. Me personally only eats apple peel but thats about it I don't like too many fruit skins.
