When eating an apple do you cut the skin off or eat the skin also?

I used to just wash my apple and eat it as is. But now i gotta share with the little one, so we peel it (she still chokes on the peel if not) and cut it up into little peices and share them. Or i cut them into slices and she will take a bite from each slice and leave the rest for me lol nice of her eh ? I think i remember hearing that the skin or the peel is the best part of the apple nutrition wise.. I wonder if that is true.

Hi peanutjar:) I usually eat the apple whole with the skin on. My favorite kind of apple is a Gala Apple.

I always prefer to eat with the peel.And I prefer to eat it as a whole fruit without cutting it.

I don't often eat apples, but when I do, I eat it with the skin on it. Keeping the skin helps clean your teeth as well as being a good part of the fiber of the apple. 'Experts'recommend rinsing out your mouth after eating an apple because then what has been taken off your teeth by the skin, can be spit out and will leave your mouth healthier.

Yummy apples :)One of the fruits I really enjoy. The way I eat them really depends on my mood or where I am. SOmetimes I like to cut them into wedges or even in pieces like the french fries - I started doing this with my daughter when she was small. She loved french fries but not fruit that much, so I started cutting the apple like french fries :) I would give her yogurt to dip instead of gravy and she ended up enjoying then that way. She still asks me to do it like that sometimes, and she's almost 18 years old LOL But other times I just pick up the apple, wash it and eat it like that.

i usually just eat it all off the core. i used to cut it into wedges though..but usually only if i had caramel dip or something for it.

hi peanutjar! I eat my apple sometime as a whole without peeling the skin but most of the time, i cut it in half first. I am not used in eating apples without the skin.

hi peanutjar! ^__^ i don't peel the skin of the apple when i'm eating one. i also eat it. some say the skin is also nutritious. and i usually cut it into wedges. its easier to eat it that way. i seldom eat it whole. ^__^

I cut it into wedges, take out the center section where the pips are. When I was a kid my mom used to teach us that the most vitamin are right under the skin. So with apples I eat the pieces with the skin. Wonder why I then don't eat oranges or bananas the same way, LOL?

I love red delicious apples and I wash them good then quarter them, take out the seedsand core and eat skin and all. I think the skin is good for you.

depends on the apple, granny smiths a favorite of mine have a skin that hurts my teeth to bite into, so I peel them if the apple has blemishes I peel them because I do not want to eat the bruises or mealy areas.

Hello! No, I do not cut off the skin. I eat everything, the skin aswell. I just try to see if there are no worms inside, hehehe. Respectfully.

I don't discard the skin, for me the skin also adds some flavors to the apple. But I see to it that the apple is washed thoroughly with water before eating it immediately. I also don't cut it into wedges, I get more satisfied when eating it by whole LOL. :-)

I eat it skin and all I rarely cut it up unless I'm going on a picnic or something. I like the skin I wouldn't take it off.

Every time I eat apple I really don't eat the peal cause I find it hard to swallow it.

I cut it into wedges but I eat it with the skin.

Most of the time I eat my apple with the skin on. I wash the apple well before I eat it. Now when my grandkids are over I usually take the skin off and cut the apples into wedges for them. My grandkids dont like the skin on the apples.

Hello dear peanutjar. Usually I don't eat the skin of the apples. I peel it before eating. But quite some people around me say that they just eat the whole apple with the skin as it is good and contains a lot of vitamines in it. I have now been trying to eat apples together with skin, and I think that it is ok for me to change this apple-eating habit of mine and find that I am starting to like it. lol.

I wash the fruit with detergent soap as what i do in the lab when we culture plants, then bite the skin.Besides, i it is fun to eat the skin and I think i love the taste of the skin,right?

I normally just leave the peel on it. And if I am at home I will cut it into wedges but if I am out ill just eat the apple whole.
