Most of the vitamins are actually under the skin of vegetables.
However, the peel of potatoes can be dangerous.
Most of the
nutrients
in
vegetables are
under the
skin
.
When the
peel is
removed, valuable
vitamins are
lost.
It
looks different
with
potatoes
- they should definitely be
peeled
.
Offenbach - Most of them have been used
to peeling
their
vegetables
before they are a child.
The toxic
pollutants
on or in the
shell should be
removed.
However, if you take the
vegetables
out of their
peel
, you risk losing the
peel's
important nutrients
.
The peel in particular is what makes the vegetables so healthy
It's no secret that harmful
pollutants
can
build up
in
vegetables
.
Many consumers try to protect themselves from strong chemicals by getting rid of the supposed culprit: the
peel
.
Most of them ignore the fact that the shell of
vegetables
and fruit in
particular
contains important nutrients.
Valuable plant substances, minerals, trace elements, fiber and vitamins are almost exclusively in the
shell
.
One
vegetable
that is often peeled is the cucumber.
The
peel of
the cucumber in
particular contains
the most antioxidants and a lot of vitamin K. The antioxidants protect against oxygen compounds that can cause the aging process and cell damage.
Washing up instead of peeling: cleaning the skin of vegetables and fruit
Anyone who thinks that harmful pesticides from
vegetables
and fruit can only be
combated
by removing the
peel
is wrong.
In fact, it is enough
to hold
the
vegetables
under running water and clean them thoroughly with your hand or a vegetable brush.
If you still don't want to do without
peeling
, you should use a potato peeler.
At least this does not remove all nutrients.
Often there are
fewer
pollutants
in regional organic
vegetables
, as the regulations regarding the use of pesticides are much stricter.
However, organic
vegetables
do not necessarily have to be free from
harmful substances
.
At least it is
easier to
determine where it comes from
with regional
vegetables
than with imported
vegetables
.
#Stay your food safe: Before eating, wash raw #fruits & # vegetables thoroughly with warm, running drinking water (at least 30 seconds) to reduce the number of germs & thus the risk of infection.
Then dry with disposable paper.

Exception: It is better to do without the skin of the potato
Potatoes are an exception: although there are many minerals in the potato under the skin, it should be removed during preparation.
The natural poison solanine is also found in the
skin of
the potato.
Even with a low concentration of the poison, unspecific symptoms such as headache, diarrhea and vomiting as well as "scratching" in the throat can occur.
Only by
removing
the
peel
is it possible
to remove
the natural
pollutants
in the
vegetables
.
