I tend to be very cautious about most fruit skins so, for example, I eat peaches, pears, apples, apricots and cherries and grapes but I carefully peel off all the skin. I know I am sometimes too fearful about taxing the pouch and my digestive processes, so I wonder what other folks do In terms of fruit in their diets? I would like to eat more fruit skins, perhaps cut up fine, and well chewed, as many of the core nutrients are in the skins. Also, do people avoid strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and other berries because of the little seeds? And watermelon (even seedless ones have quite a few little seed)?? What has been people's experience eating all of these glorious fruits? Your knowledge and experience would be appreciated.
