News desk, News Nation 360: The season is well known for its finger-licking dishes made with seasonal vegetables. The perfect example is Gajar ka halwa, which is made aplenty during winter. From radishes to green peas, there are several seasonal veggies you can experiment with during winter. While fruits and vegetables benefit your health, do you know that consuming these farm produce along with peels can be even more nutritious? We often discard the peels of veggies in an attempt to reduce our exposure to pesticides and dirt. However, it is important to know that peels are packed with essential nutrients. For instance, a raw apple with skin contains up to 142% more vitamin A and up to 31% of the total amount of fibre in a vegetable can be found in its skin. Carrot peel also contains niacin, also known as vitamin B3. It is an essential multivitamin that helps in keeping your heart, nervous system, digestive system and skin healthy. Food consultant and Chef Nittin Mohan stated that the beauty of Indian cuisine lies in their seasonal usage of fruits and vegetables. Peels of these farm produce are rich in several nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. Therefore, he recommends using unpeeled fruits and veggies during cooking. He recommends using ITC Nimwash. Nimwash is a 100 per cent natural-action vegetable and fruit wash that removes pesticides and 99.9% germs with its natural cleansing properties. According to a Clinical Dietician and Obesity management expert and the owner of Fitfoody.in, Sonia Sinha, Potato skin contains B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium and other nutrients. Consuming Apples with its skin aids digestive issues as it contains pectin, one of the richest sources of fibre. Eating cucumber with its skin also keeps your bones healthy as it is rich in Vitamin K.
