Nobody remembers anymore what year healthy eating experts started instilling in society the idea that apples should be eaten without the peel.
It is also curious that supporters of this theory recommend peeling not only apples, but also other fruits, and vegetables along with them.
In an interview with NEWS.ru, the famous Russian nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg spoke about whether it is necessary to peel apples before eating them.
An expert has called the popular opinion about the need to peel fruits and vegetables before eating a myth.
Supposedly it contains high concentrations of nitrates, so it is necessary to peel the skin, including from apples.
However, from a medical point of view, apple peel is useful.
It contains dietary fiber, many vitamins and microelements.
Moreover, in terms of the content of useful substances and antioxidants, including, apple peel surpasses all the peeled pulp of the fruit.
Previously, healthy eating experts came to the conclusion that uncontrolled consumption of apples can cause harm to health.
Therefore, it is recommended to avoid eating fruits on an empty stomach.
