A colleague told me that she has started to try to eat some of the skins of fruits and vegetables that in the past she would just peel and throw away. A nutritionist explained to her that many times the skins contain lots of good things. Which reminds me that my brother told me he started to eat unpeeled cooked potatoes.
I never understood why people don't eat the skin on potatoes. I just wash the dirt off, and I might use a knife to cut off the area around the eyes, but I generally don't peel vegetables. I do eat lots of raw carrots though.

my mum use to peel the tatties then fry the skins nom.
But me, I would just eat baked potato skins any day. I've even been known to eat everyone elses baked potato skins too (heathens, they're sooo tasty)
I rarely peel mine either.
