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.
