An apple is an edible fruit produced by an apple tree. It is one of the healthiest fruits in the world. They are incredibly nutritious fruits that offer multiple health benefits. A medium apple is about 70mm to 80mm in diameter, and the skin is about 0.3 to 0.5mm thick. Apple skin is an excellent source of dietary fiber. About two-thirds of the dietary fibre exists in apple skin.
It is very sad to see some people cut off or peel the skin when eating apples. Many studies have shown that the nutritional value of apple skin is 4 to 6 times higher than that of the pulp. Pulp is the soft, succulent part of a fruit, usually composed of mesocarp. The pulp is actually the remains if you peel off the skin of an apple.
Most of the nutrients can be found in apple skin. For you to peel off the skin before eating is not really advisable. If you want to gain more nutrients, then stop cutting off the skin before eating. Most of the apple polyphenols exist in apple skin, about 2 times more than in the pulp. Apple polyphenols are a biologically active material with strong antioxidant properties.
Apple skin contains vitamins C and A, respectively. According to the latest research, people who eat an apple a day have a much stronger immune function and resistance than people who don’t eat apples, and are less susceptible to other viruses and bacteria.
