Apple peels are the thin outer skin of apples, rich in nutrients and dietary fiber. Packed with vitamins like A and C, along with potassium and antioxidants such as quercetin, they provide powerful health benefits, including supporting immune function and reducing oxidative stress. The peel is a significant source of insoluble fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health. Apple peels feature prominently in many cuisines, often used to add texture and flavor to baked goods, beverages, and jams. However, their use depends on the type of apple and culinary context. While the peel is generally healthy, it’s worth noting that pesticide residues can sometimes linger, so washing or choosing organic apples is recommended. Low in calories yet high in nutrients, the apple peel is an essential part of enjoying the whole fruit while maximizing its nutritional value.
