Do you peel the fruits before eating?

Hi ramya! In fruits like orange, banana and chico i peel off the outer skin and eat. Apple and mango are fruits you need not peel off, before eating.

not all the fruots. may be the orange, lemon etc that we peel. there are also soem fruits where the skin can't be eaten like cucumber,watermelon,kiwi etc.

I will eat the peel on the apple, but for my 3 year old son I have to peel it, or he starts to choke. Other than that I peel an orange and a banana. I love the peel on a peach.

The only time I peel the skin off a fruit is if it is an orange or a banana. I think that for apples the skin is the best part, especially if it is crisp and cold and crunchy!!

Hi Ramya I will not peel the fruits having thin skin like apple. But when I have mangos I will take of the outermost layer of the skin with a fine knife.

No, I never peel the fruits like Chico, Apple, Pears because from the skin you can take the vitamins and nutrients except for the fruits that are needed to peel the skin.......

I don't peel apples before i eat them, but I do peel oranges. As to whether someone peels a piece of fruit or not, actually depends on the fruit. Some are optional depending on preference, others have to be peeled because the peels are not edible. Bananas are a good example of fruit that must be peeled.

some fruits i can't help but to peel .. but i too think that nutrients are present in the outer part ... so for the fruits like apple i too eat raw without peeling thenm so that i get a few nutrients into my body.

Hello, Even I do not peel off the Outer Skin normally . I do sometimes do it when I am not too well and finding it hard to eat the skin .

Because of a dental problem, my husband frequently cannot eat the apple rind. After he peals the apple, he will bring the rind to me, and I will happily eat it.

hi friend, i like to eat fruits with out peel.

well as for me if the skin is edible i will eating because i love fruits. i strongly prefer to eat my fruit rather than make juice out of it. i tend to like it better when im eating the actual fruit. example banana.

i really like to have most of fruits as a juice i have a problem with fruit salad i like juices and sure i have to peeling the fruits before make it a juice good luck my friend with your new posting .

Actually I really don't eat the skin of fruits unless I really have to. When I was younger I didn't like the feeling of eating apple skin, I always felt like it was getting stuck in my throat somewhere. Anyway, do you eat the skin of chico fruits? What's that like?

If the peels are edible, I leave them on, like apples and pears. Things like oranges and bananas need to be peeled to be enjoyed.

I only remove the peel from bananas, citrus and other fruits such as that. Otherwise, an apple for example, I eat the peel. There are a lot nutrients in the skin and it just seems wasteful to throw it out.

ramyashreesk hi I also peel off the skin of bananas but not apples as the skin has nutrients in it,also i eat the skin of pears,not p eaches as they are fuzzy, mangoes you can also eat the skin, not oranges nor melons however their skins are not edible.

As for apples and chico and most fruits with edible peelings, I don't really peel it anymore. The reason is not mainly because I want to retain the nutrients. My reason is because I am so lazy to peel it! Some people peel their grapes, and I really can't wait that long just to eat a small fruit.

It depends on what fruit i would eat. But for aplle, i dont peel it.

I ALWAYS eat the peels of the apple. They are VERY good for you and have the most nutrients that an apple has. I always peel my oranges though, can you even eat the peel? Also with watermelons, I never eat the peel or the white/light green colored rind.
