Instructions
Step 1
1. Potato and carrot peels.
Most of the nutrients found in potatoes and carrots, such as vitamin C and potassium, are retained when eaten with the skins. It also contains a huge amount of fiber. In almost any recipe, carrots and potatoes can be cooked with the peel.
2. Leaves and stems of broccoli.
Like the buds, the leaves and stems of this superfood are equally tasty and rich in antioxidants and fiber, but unfortunately often end up in the trash can. In addition, they are an excellent source of carotenoids and vitamins A and C. They can be consumed raw and added to salad. The stems contain a fairly large amount of fiber.
3. Melon peel.
The melon rind is rich in citrulline (an amino acid that promotes blood circulation). Combine the peel and pulp in a blender for a delicious, antioxidant-rich shake.
Step 2
4. Peel of acorn squash.
It contains a range of vital antioxidants, including phytonutrients and fiber. The halves of this vegetable can be fried along with the peel. Thus, the dish will look more appetizing. A spoonful of maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt will make it taste unique.
5. Onion peel.
It is rich in quercetin, which lowers blood pressure and prevents clogged arteries. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits the production and release of histamine. Therefore, onion peels can be beneficial for those suffering from hay fever.
6. Pineapple core.
It is harsher and certainly not as appetizing as the pulp. The core contains many nutrients. It is only slightly harder and not as sweet as the rest of the pineapple. When eaten raw, you will get all of the fruit's nutrients.
Step 3
7. Lemon and orange peel.
The peel of these citrus fruits is a real storehouse of fiber, flavonoids and vitamins. According to unofficial sources, the active chemical in the peel of lemons and oranges (D-lemonene) may help relieve heartburn and indigestion. A good concentration of vitamin C helps to strengthen the immune system and prevent respiratory infections. In addition, the peel extract can be used as an antibacterial moisturizer, insect repellent, and even a kitchen grease cleaner. It is also used to whiten teeth. The pectin and fiber in the white layer under the skin can help curb appetite and suppress hunger for up to 4 hours.
8. Celery leaves.
While they contain five times more magnesium and calcium than the stems, celery leaves are also rich in vitamin C and phenols - powerful antioxidants that help fight cancer, heart disease, and even aging.
9. Beet stalks
They are rich in glutamine, antioxidants and phenolic compounds. The stems are as edible as the leaves. They can be steamed like asparagus.
