Apples
Apple peel contains insoluble fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, and quercetin, a powerful antioxidant flavonoid that helps protect the heart and fight allergies.
Researchers figured out that it is enough to eat just one medium-sized apple a day to normalize blood sugar levels.
Cherry
Cherries owe their bright red color to anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants found in high concentrations in the peel of this berry. Cherry skin is also rich in vitamin A, contains vitamin C, folic acid, and their frequent use contributes to the balance of melatonin, a hormone, affecting sleep.
Tomatoes
The peel of a tomato contains naringenin, a compound that reduces the risk of prostate cancer and levels of inflammation in the body.
How told nutritionist Elena Kalen, the skin of unripe green tomatoes may contain dangerous solanine. However, it is no longer present in mature tomatoes.
Pears
Pear skins are rich in the antioxidant quercetin, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease and, according to a recent study from Cornell University, prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
If you dry a pear with a skin, then there will be even more benefit – there are tannins in a dried pear – substances with an astringent effect, very useful for intestinal disorders.
And if you suffer from anemia, then try it instead of dessert eat mashed pears (with skin) following dinner, adding a spoonful of honey to them.
