@myhealthforward: Stop wasting carrot peels. Carrot peels contain half the total phytonutrient profile in carrots. The carrot peel contains more cations, vitamin c, niacin, organic acids, carotenoids, and phenolic acids. Wash your carrots but don’t peel them! plant heirloom carrot seeds at home or source them from local farms. #carrot #gardening #garden #cook #nutrients

"good wash". is water enough? what about fertilizer, fungicides, herbicides etc? dunk in boiling water? wash how?

I stopped years ago.

What about pesticides etc. ?

Joanie Wheat :

I scrub them. Skin on veggies is the most nutritious part.

Caleb Cafarelli :

Those nutrients are present but not bioavailable, your body can’t really process much of it at all, the skin also included plant defense chemicals like oxalates which are bad you. Our ancestors peeled most vegetables.
