Eat the Skin

When preparing meals, people frequently peel the skins from fruits, vegetables, and chicken. This is the wrong idea because the skin of these foods both contains significant amounts of nutrients.

As an example, apple peels are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. In fact, triterpenoids, a group of substances found in apple peels, have been identified by researchers. They function as strong antioxidants in the body and could be able to combat cancer. In addition, chicken skin is a rich source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin A, and B vitamins. In addition, chicken skin is a great source of selenium, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation in the body. These benefits go beyond chicken and apple skin. These benefits are not limited to chicken and apple skin. Potato, carrot, cucumber, mango, kiwi and eggplant skin are all edible and healthful. Eating the skin is not only delicious, but it also saves money and lessens the impact of food waste.
