Can one eat fruit with the skin on?

Apples – all the time. Same with pears.

Or do you mean oranges and other citrusians?

some yes, some no, it will mess up your digestion. Read today you don’t have to peel kiwis.

@elbanditoroso Yes. Oranges and other fruits. We can eat their zests. So why not the whole peel? Animals are fed the parts that humans don’t eat.

Animals can digest roughage much better than humans now can. 1,000,000 years of prepping and cooking food has softened our digestive system.

You really don’t want to eat the skin of a pineapple. That’ll cut up you insides like chewing glass.

Tomato is a fruit and I eat it (skin on) practically every day.

Plums, nectarines, and peaches too.

Of the fruits we eat, the only ones we peel are citrus.

@SnipSnip You eat the outside of a pineapple? You eat mango and papaya skins?

I don’t eat avocado skins.

Grapes are optional !

;>)

Some will avoid skins because pesticides can be concentrated on them.
Getting organic produce can help avoid that.

@zenvelo I said of the fruits we eat

I have eaten orange peels and had no adverse affects. It was actually kinda tasty. I tried a banana peel once and it was just too tough.

@SnipSnip you don’t eat pineapple, mango, papaya, or avocado? You are missing some delightful fruits!

Commercially produced citrus are usually coated with some kind of vegetable wax to keep the fruit from drying out quickly. That’s pretty hard to get off the peel.
