I didn't know that people didn't peel apples until I was an adult because my mom always peeled apples.
Do you peel? Can you peel them in one peel? (I can!)
-
I don't peel!
-
No! Unless I am using them in a recipe. I am impressed you can do it in one fell swoop!
-
My mom did, but I broke the family tradition.
-
If i buy organic apples, i'll usually eat them unpeeled. Otherwise, i'll peel them...and i can do it in one swoop too!
-
I always peel apples. I can't stand the skin! I can peel it all off in one swoop too with a knife. It's like a personal challenge of mine everytime I peel apples and asian pears!
-
No, I usually peel just for recipes.
-
No, I don't peel them. I like the taste, but also, the skin is the most nutritious part of the apple--it contains a great deal of the fiber and antioxidants!
-
Yeah, I didn't know until recently that people ate apples with peel since my mom always peeled apples for us.
On a side note - someone was saying how odd it was that my mom still peels apples for me, but I'm awful at peeling them and she can get the peel off in one shot.
-
Nope. I'm lazy.
-
Nope, too lazy.
-
Nope. Isn't the skin an added nutrition? I peel my pears though!
-
I never do...too much work!
-
I peel them for my LO but I'm scared of knives so I use a vegetable peeler. I eat my apples with skin on and sliced into pieces.
-
Fruit peels are full of nutrients!! Or so I've heard
I've always eaten them with the peels. An I've never tried to peel in one fell swoop!I only peel if I'm cuttin them for ds
-
@Alivoo01: yeah that's what I've heard too
I think that's generally the case. Orange peels have more vit c than the orange itself (yech I wouldn't eat it tho!) and lemon peels as well.
-
my mom used to when we were growing up, so i like the texture of eating peeled apples, but i know that the peel is the most fiber and nutritious, so dh and i just slice them and eat it
-
I always eat the peel! It's the best part for you. I can peel the whole thing as one piece when I need to peel it for a recipe
-
No, its easier not to LOL and there's no way I can peel in one peel. My mom can though, but she grew up on a farm peeling potatoes and such, so she had practice LOL
-
I eat the peel too unless I need the apple for a recipe. Then I can peel it with a peeler in one piece.
-
Only for recipes but I have to get my DH to do it because I am awful at peeling!!
-
I never peel them!
-
I always eat the peel! Unless I'm baking an apple pie, I always leave the peel on
-
I hate the texture of the peel so I always peel them even though I know it's nutritious! I don't peel it in 1 peel tho. I'm much faster doing it a different way. I also slice mine into wedges.
-
I love the peel!! Unless i am baking something- then i curse that apple out the whole time i am peeling it!
-
I don't like the peel so I peel my apples. I have gotten better at peeling all in one shot!
-
I don't! My baby girl just eats them whole, in tiny bites. Or I'll cut them into thin slices for her.
-
Haha. Yeah I can peel in 1 piece too!
I peel apples for LO since she doesn't like the texture of peels.
If the apples are from my parents' trees I'll eat the peel since it's 100% pesticide free.
If I buy organic, it just depends on how I'm feeling. -
Not usually, not even for pies - lots of good fiber in the peels!
-
i only peel them for LO. i always eat the skin.
-
I loved when my mom would make something with apples that needed peeling while we were growing up. I used to fight with my brothers over who got to eat the peels.
-
My parents used to peel them for us. I peel them for the LOs but I don't for myself. I don't like raw apples so I don't eat them much myself.
