We got a bargaining peel here or no?


"What is this??" You may gasp as you look at these pictures. The truth is, these are apple peels!! (They look quite different from how you see an apple with just your naked eye).

As we all know, the main reason most of us eat apples, besides it being sweet and tasty, is because it's a healthy diet to eat and has plenty of minerals to supply us. However, while some of us prefer to not eat the peel, it was found that most of the apple's minerals and nutrients come from the peel itself. 

Not only minerals, but two-thirds of the fibers the apple has are actually in the peel! 
Just as explained from the celery, the fiber can help in your cardiovascular system
and also the digestive system as well. 

With the minerals, nutrients, and fibers, there's one final thing that the peel consists of which our body needs as mandatory: Vitamins! 
About 72 percent of the apple's antioxidant Vitamin E and the Vitamin D, used for building bones, are in the apple's peel.

Eat healthy! Remember what's good for you to eat!

You can see the individual cells well along their vacuoles (big clear circles) and organelles (smaller stuff). Personally it seems as if the cells contain a large amount of water due to all the irregular shapes.
