Eating the Whole Thing (Skins, Seeds, Hulls, Rind, Peel) YSWIAG

I want to know what parts of foods often thrown away you eat and also any knowledge on that subject in terms of beneficial nutrients.

I eat the whole Apple (not the stem)

Done Kiwis b4 (nice if they are washed first) I actually kinda like the skin its weird…dehydrating with the skins on is nice

What about melons and bananas (any uses for that peel?)

Are there any things that should be avoided? seeds? or (to reach out and broaden the topic) anything raw…heard things about potatoes, some kinds of beans,

    I enjoy goin vertical on the apple…you should def. try it Mango…I believe the seeds contain B-2 which may have anti cancer properties..they are also slightly toxic…containing a cyanide compound (amygdalin)...you would have to eat hundreds or thousands (of seeds) for it to hurt your body.

    The carrots I have been getting have been neutered…

    elizabeth: what kinds of seaweed do you like?...I love dulse and wish it wasnt so expensive

    Elizabethh: I offer a basic description of the toxin in my second post…
    Your reproductive analysis seems right on to me.

    The mango skin has some nutrients in it that differ from the juicy innards.

    That is interesting about the apricot and prune seeds and cancer. However, they are so large one would not ordinarily be eating those anyway. If you put it in the blender it seems it would release the cyanide on its own and be dangerous. Does apple seeds contain that too or is that a different toxin?
