Leave the skin on your Apple?

why should the skin be left on an apple? what health benefits does it have to do so?

Answer #1

Like Stavosh said, the higher antioxidant activity, and also because it’s wasteful if you leave the skin when it’s perfectly edible.

Answer #2

Apples with the skin had higher antioxidant activity than apples without skin.

Answer #3

On the other hand, almost all of the pesticide used on the apple are absorbed by the skin, so it’d be better to peel it off unless it’s certified organic.

Answer #4

@jozef; I would like a link in my FunMail where you got that info because I’ve NEVER heard that before.

Answer #5

It’s also roughage, fiber. Helps with digestion.
