Did you know...

You can eat lemon, orange and banana peels? And they can be quite good for you.

Though, hard to eat raw. But adding them to a blended smoothie after cutting off any stem and blossom can make them drinkable even.

I used to eat oranges skin and all as a kid , till I was told that it was wrong.

I never understood it. First they say, most of the vitamins and fibre are in the skin of a fruit , then they say don't eat it .

I'm so confused 😄

@BoobooSnafu Yeah it's not normal... but it seems like it's great for you as long as you wash it very well first.

I have used peels in limoncello, and some zest in cakes but I never tried just eating them.

@Powderflask I haven't just eaten them, I blended them up into a smoothie though.

Have u tried it?

Viper · M

@passingby8 Not straight, but I have blending a whole lemon (peel and all) into a smoothie... it was too much, but did it away with half and it was good.

@ViperI was more curious about the 🍌 peel though lol

Viper · M

@passingby8 Nope, I have not used the banana peel yet lol... I was thinking for trying it though, but I forgot plus I was sharing it with someone, I would prefer to try odd things when it's just me drinking it first.

But I think the internet claimed some places do use the banana peel as food too.
