The fleshy parts of fruits and vegetables are extremely healthy, but the edible skins of certain fruits and vegetables are even more beneficial to health.
The skin of potatoes, apples, cucumbers, zucchini and more contain richer amounts of vitamins, minerals and fiber.
I love eating baked potatoes with their peels on.
Just be sure to know which fruit and vegetable skins are suitable to eat and those that are not.
My goodness!
I am a loyal life-long fan of cucumbers.
During my early youth I would go into our family backyard to where my grandmother planted her own fresh fruit and vegetables.
The cucumbers from her crops used to be large, wide, and crisp!
I would peel them, sprinkle salt on them, and eat them whole holding them inside the palm of my little hands.
Cucumbers are delicious sliced or chopped up in salads and they are super delicious within their pickled state.
The nutritional value of cucumbers is also fantastic. They are excellent for hydration as they naturally contain water as many fruits and vegetables do.
Cucumbers are good for the digestive system and they contain antioxidants.
