One of the most common mistakes that most people do is peeling fruits and vegetables before consuming them thinking that the skins are useless and carry no nutritional value!
However, what they might totally ignore is that by doing so, they are missing out on the maximal notional value, said Jenny Friedman, who is a registered dietitian based in Philadelphia.
She also added saying that the skin is often loaded with vital nutrients and essential vitamins such as calcium, potassium, fiber and vitamin B. Hence, by keeping the peels of your fruits and veggies, you will allow your body to enjoy an extra dose of important nutrients.
