However, just the other day I found myself curiously watching somebody peel a peach before they started to eat it. This was no place for me to intervene, but I just couldn't help myself. I sat myself down next to a young lady who was quietly reading her book (yep you guessed it fifty shades of grey!), and asked just what made her peel the skin of a peach?
She seemed rather surprised that a stranger would accost her for something like this, I mean normally people are bothered for charity donations, or the like, but here was some random guy questioning how she ate her fruit. Fortunately she answered though and said that she was not too keen on the texture of the peaches fuzzy surface, and had been taking the skin off before eating them for several years now.
After mentioning that she though that this made no difference to it's nutritional goodness, I had to point out that she was getting rid of most of the fiber that the peach offers, as this comes from the skin. Seemingly a little disappointed about this, she thanked me for letting her know before I got up and headed off.
Besides offering a decent dose of vitamins A and C, the best thing about a peach is the fact that it acts as a good source of fiber.
So do you eat peach skin, and if not, why not?
