To Peel or Not to Peel (2)

What is zest?
Health benefits of organic food

You can, but getting your vitamins from fresh fruit is better for you. And the peels can contain more vitamins than the fruit of juice.

Did you know that orange peels have more vitamin C than orange juice?

So I should start eating orange peels?

Why not? You can add some grated orange peel to a vegetable dish like asparagus.

But I don’t like the taste of orange peel.

OK. What about apple peels? Apple skins lower your cholesterol and blood sugar.

Eating apple peels sound nasty. Besides pesticides, there might be bacteria on the skins.

Well then, buy organic food.

But it’s expensive.

Then you don’t have to peel your fruit. Wait, do you peel All fruit?

Of course. I peel the fruit and discard the peels.

What about blueberries?

Come on, you can’t peel that kind of fruit.

So you like eating some fruit peels?

I didn’t say that. Most peels don’t taste good, so why eat them?

Because they are full of nutrients. So you’re fortunate I made you this healthy smoothie. Drink it up and enjoy!
