A member asked:
Fact or myth? most nutritious part of fruit is often the peel, like in oranges and bananas.. (are organic peels harmful or toxic or nutritious?)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fact: Many fruit peels are rich in vitamins and nutrients, with organic peels the least toxic since they lack dyes, waxes, and harmful pesticides used in improving the color and appearance of commercially processed fruits
