Do you like to eat some of your fruits with the skin on or peeled off?

i leave the skin on most of the time,after i've thoroughly cleaned it.
i still worry sometimes about leftover whatever on it though.

i'd heard of it but never tried it-i think it just cleans the surface.
wax and all that.

Hi cream97, I like eating fruits which are peeled off only. I dislike the mouth-feel of the skin and it would make the fruit lesser delicious. I dislike taking grapes for I have to spend lots of extra time to peel off its skin, unless my hubby won’t mind taking the trouble to do it for me. Besides banana, it’s easy and convenient to take papaya and watermelon as well, for I usually scoop out the juicy flesh from the cut fruits using a spoon.
posting and take care.

It’s an easy way to eat papaya and watermelon. I cut the papaya or watermelon into four or more equal parts depending on the size of the fruit. For a normal size papaya I usually cut it into four pieces with skin. I place the piece of fruit in a plate, then using a spoon to scoop out the flesh and put it directly into my mouth, so I don’t have to take the trouble to peel the skin off. Three of us in my family share the whole papaya.

All the fruits that you just mentioned I eat them with the fruit on, and grapes too. There are fruits that I won't eat with the skin on like bananas or mangoes. I don't think I've ever actually seen any one eating the skin of a banana or a mango.

i prefer peeling off the fruits because my throat & mouth has this weird feeling of chewing & swallowing with the fruit. i think it has been a psychological effect on me which up until now even though they advise me that the skin of the fruit has nutrients i have never dared to it unpeeled.

I like eating fruits with skin peeled off. It is much easier to eat and to chew. I don’t like eating apples without its skin peeled off. I find it hard to chew the skin of it, though they say that the skins of the apples are where the nutrients are.

Sometimes, I peel off the skin of it while sometimes I don't . It always depends...
Have a great day!

The only fruit I like with the peel on it is apples. The skin on peaches is really fuzzy I don't like that I don't eat plums either way with or without the peel yucky. I don't really care for apricots all that well eitehr. I don't eat the peel of a banana either! lol.

I like to eat fruit with the skin on because of the vitamins just beneath it unless the skin is usually kind of bitter, like plums. I always peel plums.
I always get the hiccups when I eat an apple so I tried peeling one to see if that would help. Nope! I still got the hiccups! So, I keep the skin on now unless I'm chopping up apples to put in a salad or something.
Apricots I only eat dried so I really have no say in the matter. Peaches and pears I always eat the skin with the fruit, unless they're canned, of course! LOL

Most of the time, I remove the peel. If it's dates, apricots, the peel remains. For bananas, durian, the peel has to go. Cheers!!

I eat the skin because that's where all the vitamins are! I never peel my vegetables, only squash, because it's like throwing away everything good in the fruit or vegetable and leaving only the empty calories.
