Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The peel of a fruit such as a lemon or apple is its skin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Peels are packed with nutrients In fact, a raw apple with skin contains up to 332% more vitamin K, 142% more vitamin A, 115% more vitamin C, 20% more calcium, and up to 19% more potassium than a peeled apple ( 1, 2 ).
Detailed explanation-3: -Apple peels also contain the majority of the fiber found in apples. Without the skin, a medium apple has just 2 grams of fiber, but with the skin, the same size apple contains more than double that: 4.4 grams of fiber. As a bonus, apple skin is very high in a specific type of fiber called pectin.
