LIST OF FRUIT SCRAPS YOU SHOULDN'T THROW AWAY!
Fruits come with so many amazing benefits
but most of us throw away the best parts of fruits without even realising
how nutrient-rich they are.
Listed below are some of the common fruit
scraps which we belittle:
Orange Peel
and Pith
The peel and
the pith (white spongy part around the flesh) of an orange are pretty useful
than we realise. Studies show that the rich nutrients present in the pith help
lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and inflammation. Also, pectin
(present in both peel and pith) suppresses hunger. You
can use leftover orange peel to zest up your meals, toss into smoothies or put
in baked goods.
Apple Skin
Apple skin
has slightly more nutrition than the flesh. The nutrients present in the skin
helps remove toxins and waste from the body, and clean out the digestive
system. It also helps reduce body inflammation.
Watermelon
Rind
Usually, people discard the watermelon
rind along with the white flesh. Not many know that – citrulline (present in
the white flesh) improves blood circulation and helps prevent cancer.
