Legend has it that apple peel can help digestion and prevent hypertension. Is it true?
False.
Nutrition Comments: Some nutrients in apple peel are indeed higher than those in pulp. For example, half of the dietary fiber in apples is in the peel. And antioxidant anthocyanins are basically hidden in bright peels. This is probably the reason why apple peels are said to promote digestion and prevent hypertension.
Although the nutritional value of apple peel is good, the peel of an apple is very small, and the nutrition it can contribute is really not as good as that of vegetables.
Suggestion: Apple peel is nutritious, but it is not as exaggerated as legend. It doesn’t matter whether it is peeled or not.
