Mostly about apples and oranges...

Not only preferences differ from person to person but also in the same person depending on mood :) I don't think I ever ate orange skin it was quite bitter the few times I nicked it by mistake. But when I eat oranges I don't like to peel them, I prefer to cut them in quarters and hold the skin while I sink my teeth in the juicy fruit. As for apples I sometimes eat them with skin, sometimes I peel it off. Regardless of how I am going to choose to eat them I always wash them well. It's a curse of modern times. We now have everything available even off season, but the price we pay is all the chemical residue leftover that I am sure cut the benefits of eating the fruit by much.

I eat most fruit with the skin on but wash it well first. Most of the vitamins and a lot of the fibre are in the skin. Likewise with potatoes and carrots, unless I am mashing potatoes I never peel them. I do peel oranges and citric fruit though,although the pith (the white inner part of the skin )is very good for you. It contains the highest amount of bioflavonoids (an antioxidant), and vitamin C of the whole orange as well as fibre, the outer skin contains limonene which is reputed to be a good anti cancer nutrient, so I guess we should eat more of it. I do use it a lot in cooking.

hi blue I eat my apples with the skin on and my oranges without that heavy peel. I would indeed think that orange peel is really not that good for'you either although I often peel some of the rind to flavor desserts with.so I guess its edible enough.I always wash my apples first with soapy water then rinse thoroughly.,

i eat apples with their skin, after washing it thoroughly.I peel the outer skin of the oranges but like to eat the skin and fibre present in the oranges.It is very healthy and good for our system...I try to eat the skin of vegetables and fruits whenever possible...

hello bluemoon! mostly i eat apples with the skin on.im kind of lazy to peel the skin off the apple.but i will make sure i washed them thoroughly.for oranges i will cut it with skin on and sometimes i use the orange skin in my cook.

It is natural to eat apples with the skin on, apparently the skin of the orange needs to be taken off/peel off because it is not considered as food. We have to be careful of eating the apples wit the skin because it is expose to a lot of pesticides and bacteria too. Definitely we have to wash and rinse it well before eating to be secured that it could not put our health into risk, moreover if we feel to eat by peeling off the skin it is also good. There is no problem on oranges, eating it is so simple yet very safe because it is only the orange pulps we used to eat.

they say that it's healthy to eat the skin of the apple and even orange..i've tried eating orange skins before..but it's already dried because it's a chinese snack..but overall i still prefer to eat them when they are already peeled..so even if these fruits are always available in the house, i'm normally ignoring them..unless somebody will volunteer to peel some for me..i just don't like peeling fruits..

I mostly eat apples with their skin on, but I make sure that I have washed the skin throughly to avoid eating foreign materials and dirts. I love oranges but I cannot imagine myself eating them with their skin on. Are oranges skin edible? Aren't oranges skin sour?

I usually eat apples with the skin on. I just wash it thoroughly to remove the pesticides. As for oranges I usually remove the skin first and eat the inside after.

I eat the whole apple complete with seeds, and orange peel sometimes you, but if I get lazy delivery only half and I take all the juice.

I peel of the skin on both. True, most of the vitamins of fruits are on the skin but nowadays you can't be sure if they're loaded with pesticides or not.

I have the same habit as you.I often eat apple with skin and eat orange peel off the skin.The apple's skin is hard to peel off.The orange's skin is easy to peeloff.So many people do like this.

For apples, I eat them with skin, I never eat any peeled apples. I like the mouthfeel of apple skin. And for oranges, I'll peel them. I'm wondering how can orange skin be eaten? It's bitter! But, we often immerse peeled orange skin into boiled hot water, and drink the water like drink tea. Orange skin is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine called Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae. It is considered to be able to reduce internal heat.
