I remember this Tom Hanks movie where he was telling a kid about how his wife can peel an apple in one long, curly strip – was that Sleepless in Seattle???
Anyway, we do have the tendency to reach for the peeler when eating fruits – but did you know that the skin that we’re taking off actually provides benefits for our skin and health?
The peel of one apple, for example, has 87% more phytochemicals which lower the risks of certain cancers.
Go for unpeeled, organic cucumber and enjoy the benefits of lesser wrinkles. The purple skin of an eggplant contains potassium – which prevents muscle cramps, and fiber which helps trim down your excess weight.
Unpeeled kiwi is also beneficial – although you may not want to bit into al that furry stuff! Lastly, go ahead and use as much orange zest as you can into those salsa, cocktail and salad recipes – they actually help reduce the risks of skin cancer by 30%.
Those are interesting news, I always liked my cucumbers not pilled… :)
And about pilling an apple in one long strip, I think that’s from Sleepless in Seattle – right after Tom Hanks said that they showed Mag Ryen pilling an apple exacly like that…
Oh, those are such good movies!
