Do you want to peel your apples?
What are you thinking about when you're preparing an apple? Perhaps the question most people face is whether or not to peel. On the one hand, there has been a saying that “most of apple nutrition is on the skin.†On the other hand, wax and pesticides on the surface of apple peels are also dangerous. In the light of various factors, the World Health Organization's proposal is to peel the skin.
What is the nutrition of apple peel?
There are indeed some high levels of nutrients in apple peels, especially antioxidants such as phenols and flavonoids. These active substances can inhibit the enzymes that cause the rise in blood pressure, thereby preventing chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes. In addition, nearly two-thirds of the fiber in apples is found in the skin, and the intake of sufficient fiber in the diet is particularly important to maintain the functions of the digestive system and the cardiovascular system.
However, even if the apple skin is very nutritious, the amount of nutrients contained in the skin is not much more than what we need in daily life.
Pesticide residues are prone to disease
In addition to nutrition, the pesticide residues in the planting process and the wax that the merchants use to keep fresh will also adhere to the peel. Even if it is cleaned, it will not guarantee the complete removal of bacteria and chemical substances from the peel.
1, wax.
There are three main sources of wax on apple peels: one is the fruit wax that is secreted during the growth of apples, which is harmless to the human body; the other is the use of wax added artificially to preserve the freshness and prevent the evaporation of water, which has no harm to the human body; The three types are those that pose a real threat to human health. Industrial waxes added by businesses to reduce costs may contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury. Excessive intake can damage the nervous system.
2, pesticides.
Environmental pollution and excessive use of pesticides cause drug residues to be an important factor that threatens food safety. The long-term consumption of fruits that have drug residues may cause the accumulation of toxins in the body, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and skin allergies. Severe persons may also injure the gastrointestinal tract and liver.
