They examined the skin of fruits, which turned out to have a huge environmental impact

Researchers from King’s College London emphasize the nutritional value of fruit and vegetable peels and seeds, which are often discarded. Their study found that these parts contain more fiber than the edible flesh. Analyzed fruits and vegetables included pineapple, watermelon, and pumpkin, with pineapple peels having the highest fiber content. The study suggests incorporating these often-wasted parts into diets could enhance fiber intake and reduce food waste. The findings highlight the importance of fiber for digestive health and reducing disease risks. However, the study has limitations, indicating the need for further research.
