    i love peach skins! mmm velvety! kiwis, though, i've never considered the skin. it's prickly. i have eaten mango skins, but they're chewy so generally i peel them.

    All fruits and vegetables-- If you can eat the inside, you can eat the outside. Some don't taste good. but they won't hurt you.

    I live in peach orchard heaven here in upstate South Carolina. Because i see how much they are sprayed to ensure that the peaches that make it to market are "pretty" I peel them. I am not a clean eating /organic only person, however since i see it being sprayed.... I just feel better.

    Ymmv. Now that i am thinking about them i may go get me some peaches!

    'Swhy I get peaches from a local place that doesn't spray :-D


    I hope ya enjoy em! Considering the number and amount of pests, pathogens, fungus and diseases that love peaches as much as we do that is pretty difficult to do..

    Ummm... I eat it???? You peeled a peach? That's like peeling a mango. Gooey! It's perfectly healthy to eat the skin. Think of it as extra fiber.

    Not eating peach skin is just strange, this is a new concept for me and I think I have to take a few moments to adjust...

    ...I eat the skin, its delicious, also I don't wash my fruit because the pesticides give that little extra 'kick'.

    It puts the lotion on the skin.

    Seriously, though. I eat the skins on most everything.
