Answer 1

Vegetable peels are packed with beneficial nutrients depending on the fruit or vegetable.

• Studies have shown that unpeeled produce contains higher amounts of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other beneficial plant compounds than peeled produce.
• Certain vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, eggplants, cucumbers, and zucchini do not need to be peeled. Because a lot of the nutrients and fibers are stored in the skin.
• When you peel vegetables they lose nutrients that contain water-soluble minerals. Moreover, when you cook vegetables without skin they end up becoming softer and breaking down faster.
• However, in the modern world and with the introduction of pesticides into produce we are obligated to wash and peel vegetables to remove pesticides. While pesticides tend to seep into the product, a higher concentration of the chemicals can be seen stored in the skin. Therefore we see several people wash and peel the produce before cooking them.
