Tips for Preparing Apples

The skin of the apple is unusually rich in nutrients, and even if the recipe youve chosen requires peeled apples, consider leaving the skins on to receive the unique benefits found in the skins. choose organic apples to avoid problems related to pesticide residues and other contaminants on the skins. If you cannot obtain organic apples, and you are willing to accept some level of risk related to consumption of residues on the apple skins, we believe that it can still be a good tradeoff between nutrients and contaminants if you leave the skin of the apple intact and eat the apple unpeeled.
