my mum never let us eat the apple skin-less!! thanks mum!

Mine either, but I always preferred it with the skin. Same with potatoes, I liked the skin too. Does the skin of potatoes have any awesome benefits besides being deliciously crispy?

I was a peeler when I was younger, even though I was told it had all the nutrients, but now that I'm older I've learned to eat the skin too Still don't like potato skins though!

I've read the white rind of an orange has as much vitamin C as the fruit.

I don't think I ever took teh skin off. I had to have them cut up though. I can't bite into an apple - it bothers my teeth. Yeah, I know, I am werid.

i'm with bookgirl. i think the skins on the potatoes and apples give it more flavor.

I was definitely an apple peeler when i was younger. But I would do it to everything - I'd even take the skin off chicken, etc. I was a very picky eater (not so much anymore!! haha)

But what's funny was that my younger sister woud only eat what i wouldnt. So as I ate my apple she would happily munch on the peel. I would take the skin off my chicken and she would only touch that. Between the two of us we never wasted any food! haha.

As for potatoes - I read somewhere that the healthiest way to cook them is boiled whole in their skins. And that's my favorite way to cook them because it's completely hassle free and then I eat them with a bit of Guacamole!

That's a great idea pixelhaze - guacamole and pototoes! mmm...
