00:00Eating a peach with the skin on may offer more nutritional benefits than peeling it.
00:04The skin contains extra dietary fiber, including both soluble and insoluble fiber.
00:09That fiber can support healthy digestion, promote fullness, and help with blood sugar management.
00:15Peach skin also adds antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to the fruit.
00:20Peaches provide nutrients including potassium, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, and magnesium.
00:27They also contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds associated with eye health.
00:33But there is one important precaution before eating the skin.
00:36Peaches can carry pesticide residue or other contaminants on their surface.
00:40Experts recommend washing each peach thoroughly under cool running water before eating.
00:45Gently rub the skin with your fingers, then rinse it again and dry it.
00:49If you dislike the skin's texture, you can blend peaches into smoothies.
00:53You can also grill them or add them to yogurt, oatmeal, salads, or baked dishes.
00:58For many people, keeping the skin on is a simple way to get more from the whole fruit.
