Three words: Candied Orange Peel

 

[Army Burger]

I find most of them to be appealing.

 

[The Last Stand]

Nope. That's compost.

Citrus peels are fantastic for flavoring things. A lot of the essential oils are in those peels and lemon zest is great atop certain pies and confections.

 

[Token Weeaboo]

I believe it's lime zest and cilantro and a common use for home made colas. Quite a few home made recopies I've read use Lime Zest in it at least.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

I mean, sometimes..

Not generally sweet potato / yam skin, it tends to turn leathery and unpleasant, but regular potatoes absolutely. I didn't vote for squash peel, because for some reason my brain was thinking things like acorn squash and I figured it was another joke option like banana skins, but if you mean like zucchini skins? Sure.

I rarely peel my carrots, either - I just give 'em a good scrub and rinse and call it good.

I eat peanuts with the shells on, does that count as a peel?

As long as it's good and crispy I like chicken skin, bit it has to be crispy - soggy chicken skin is a sad affair. And salt pork with a bit of skin on it is just fine.

How the hell is that not tearing up your mouth?

 

[SweetDee]

banana peels? but why..?

 

[heyilikeyourmom]

They’re not peels if you don’t remove them in the first place.

 

[sperginity]

I leave the peels on when I mash potatoes, its boring AF without the texture

 

[Oskar Dirlewanger]

other peel (pig skin for free collagen, optimizing my connective tissue health)

also raw egg with the shell sometimes at the gym

Don't eat lemon or lime peel.
Let those fresh boys sit in high-proof grain alcohol for four days. Mix with equal parts of simple syrup. Keep in your fridge for up to a month.

Otherwise eat the peel it's good for you. Except the banana one.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I eat orange, lemon and sometimes even banana peel.
Oh, and I'll eat watermelong rind too.
I eat apples entirely all the way through the core.
I mean it's all food, even if it's not quite as plesant as the fruit.
Always make sure to wash them, of course.

Nope. That's compost.

Nothing composts quite as good as your intentines, my friend.

How the hell is that not tearing up your mouth?

I've eaten peanuts with the shells on too, and your mouth isn't what you need to be concerned about.

 

[Maskull]

banana peels? but why..?

It's real. I've sibling that ate the peel for years.

 

[Thank Fuck For Evil Otto]

I once met someone who was truly shocked that I didn't peel kiwi before eating them.

 

[Some Manajerk]

I find on very ripe pears the peel tends to give them a bit of texture, since the rest of the pear pretty much dissolves in your mouth(and the juices get everywhere)

 

[Immortal Technique]

People that cannot eat apple, pear or any normal fruit skin are the same dislikable people that demand bread crust be cut off. They're finicky, autistic people masquerading as normal people.

Peanut shells really aren't that hard or rough. No worse than eating a kettle chip or something. Mostly just kind of stringy.

Never given me any problems. Chew them up good, but beyond that? They're just organic matter.
