Answers: Leave the skin on the apple when you eat it? Arent there extra nutrients in the skin than with out?
Apple skin and onions are the two major food sources of a potent flavonoid called quercitin. : Quercetin is a phytochemical that is part of the coloring found in the skins of apples and red onions. It has been isolated and is sold as a dietary supplement.
In the Body: Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant. It is also a natural anti-histamine, and anti-inflammatory. Research shows that quercetin may help to prevent cancer, especially prostate cancer.
Quercetin's anti-histamine action may help to relieve allergic symptoms and asthma symptoms. The anti-inflammatory properties may help to reduce pain from disorders such as arthritis. Men who are concerned about prostate problems would also benefit from quercetin. Quercetin may also help reduce symptoms like fatigue, depression and anxiety.
There is more fibre in the skin and this is good for you too
I think it's all a matter of preference. I don't think our bodies breakdown the skin and it pretty much passes through us as fiber. I find that it gets stuck in my teeth and it's annoying, but I do like the flavor of an apple with the skin on. Up to you.
The skin on any fruit has lots of nutrients and vitamines, I would suggest that you leave the skin on, but wash the apple well first as most supermarkets wax their fruits to make them appear shiny and better looking.
Eat in good health
Yep! Leave the skin on. Tons of nutrients and most of the apples fiber is in its peel.
yes it's better to eat it with the skin becuz all the nutrients are in the apple skin...
Jus 2 words yes it is!!
