I know the skin of the apple is very nutritious for you, but I just can't handle the skin. I have tried and tried but some how is not an aquiring taste and it is too tough. I someone other than me experiencing this situation?

You are definitly not alone my friend! Apples are already not my favorite fruit, but the skin, is just not appetizing at all. I eat it anyway though, because I don't feel like peeling it all off.

You are not alone! Some skins I actually do like but the skin of an apple is not one of them!

Hey you arn't the only one. Im sure there must be many out here who would not eat the skin, nutritious though it may be. I for one can eat the apple with the skin, but my husband likes his without the skin, and believe it or not, some salt sprinkled on the apple. So relax and enjoy the apple any which way you like it without having any qualms about nutrition. Enjoy.

I don't like it either. I used to eat it anyways because it was good for the body but then I heard of the pesticides and wax they get on there. Now I just cut the skin off before I eat the apple.

Don't worry, you aren't alone! I think the skin is too hard to chew and it just takes away the juicy and satisfying taste of the apple. :) I know it's bad to get rid of the skin, because 50% of the nutrition you usually get from a whole apple is taken away. Just a fun fact..
