Kids aren't usually keen on fruit and vegetable skins. Is it okay to pitch the peel? We asked Christine Sergent, nutrition team coordinator at Cornell University:AppleDon't peel. An apple with its peel provides almost twice as much fiber, 50 percent more vitamin A, and 25 percent more potassium as one without it. (Just wash the apple first.)
