The skin will become softer and more pliable, so 99% of the pulp will be used for its intended purpose.

There are many situations when you need to peel an apple. For example, a recipe prescribes it or a child asks for it.

So you have to take a knife and remove the peel. But in doing so, you cut off almost 20% of the nutritious pulp.

However, there is an old trick, thanks to which the skin will practically "come off" itself. After unusual processing, it will become softer, so it will be possible to remove it without a knife.

The set of actions is the simplest:

1. Before peeling, pour boiling water over the apples.

2. Then the fruits are placed in ice for 1-2 minutes.

3. Take out the apples and peel them.

This way, the peel comes off more easily, and almost all of the pulp remains in place, rather than ending up in the trash.

Although thrifty housewives do not throw away apple peels, but prepare kvass, jelly with them or add them to compote.
