Title: Do you take the skin off a peach before eating it?
Post by: sommap on September 05, 2011, 09:03:48 am

I first wash it and then peel the skin off.  If Icut up the peach, it is easier to eat.  If I try to eat a juicy peach like I would eat an apple, it seems like I have juice all over.  I just finished eating a plum and have one wet paper towel from all the juice.  I do eat the skin on the plums.

I wash the peach and eat it all except for the pit. There is just something about the fuzzy skin that I love.

I wash it and eat it with the skin. It is not a candy bar, the wrapper is edible in this case.

no it is not wise to do so because it has the skin that is has great health benifits-just try not to eat the core of course!!! :icon_rr:

I peel it, remove the seed (I only buy freestone) cut it up, shake on a little Splenda, put it in the fridge for an hour or so, then put it on vanilla ice cream and smother it in whipped cream.

No way. I just wash it off and eat every piece except the seed. I could eat one now if I had one.

Yes I do take the skin off a peach. It's Japanese way. I was really surprised when I saw my American family eating peaches with skin on for the first time.

I see I am in the minority on this one.  I never thought of the extra nutrients being in the skin.  I may have to change my habit of taking off the skin.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't it depends on how ripe the peach is.   So,  if the peach is ripe I'll leave the skin on. :)

I wash them and I don't take the skin off of the peach unless I am cooking with it. I love to eat peaches.

The skin on the peach makes it that more yummy! Theres something about baby food peaches that smell awful. I never gave them to my son because of the funky smell.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. The riper the peach is, the less desirable the skin is.

Post by: queenofnines on September 06, 2011, 02:15:15 pm

I haven't had a whole peach in a long time but no, I'd keep the skin.  As I do with all fruits and veggies...it's way healthier.

No never.  I eat it skin and all.

Post by: candyterrius on September 29, 2011, 11:54:32 pm

If it’s the fuzzy peaches, yes I do peel them off since the skin is easy to peel off from the ones that are ripe. :P I do admit when they are less ripe, I eat them with the skin on.

i hate the texture of peaches! i love fresh peaches, but i never thought about pealing the skin off, i think i'll try that next time.

I will not eat skin on chicken, will not eat any fat on meat like a steak (on the very rare occasions I even eat red meat), but when it comes to fruits and vegetables, I always eat them with the skin on. That doesn't include bananas or things that have to be peeled. Most of the good fiber is in the outer part/skin, so why throw it away?

I peel it and remove the seed, then I cut it up also and than eat it.  If it's not sweet I too shake some splenda on it.

Post by: Sunshine4372 on September 30, 2011, 08:10:13 am

I eat the rind on all the fruits except the ones that you shouldn't eat (bananas, kiwis, etc...)  That is where all the nutrients and most of the fiber is.

Post by: ShadeTree on October 02, 2011, 05:13:35 am

I wash my fruits (or vegetables if they're fresh) before eating, but I don't peel anything that isn't necessary (such as cantaloupe, watermelon, tangerines). The skin is generally good for you.  :thumbsup:

I do take the skin off the peach when I eat it, but if I am out somewhere where I can't get to a knife I eat it with the skin on.  I love peaches and I can eat 2 or 3 at one setting.  I also like apples and I peel them before I eat them also.

No I do not take skin off a peach before eating it. I just rinse it off.

Post by: diala84 on October 02, 2011, 08:25:48 am

I've never much liked eating peaches because of the skin. I hate the way it feels in my mouth because it feels like I'm eating fuzz. If I eat peaches it is usually in something or canned for that reason. I love nectarines though most of the flavor of a peach but no fuzzy skin. I've never thought to peal off the skin on peaches buy I might try it sometime even though it sounds really messy.

No, I eat it skin and all...I peel my apples though, cause of the pesticides and the wax they rub on them to make them shiny for display in stores.
