    The crust doesn’t, but for the love of all that is good and scientific, stop peeling your veggies people! Carrots and potatoes especially. Almost all the nutritional value is in the skin of those two, and probably most other, other than peanuts, legumes.

    Just remember to thoroughly wash the skin, and cut out any “eyes” on the potatoes or potential small scale rotting. Pesticides aren’t something that your gut wants anything to do with.

      Uhhhh, you might want to look that one up. For some veg, there is more fibre in the skin, but that’s about it.
