Is It Safe To Eat Mango Peel?

Is It Safe To Eat Mango Peel?

 We often believe that the peel of fruit is not good to be eaten.  New studies teach us to the contrary.

 Some produce can be eaten straight out of the garden while others require extensive cleaning, scrubbing and peeling.
As you may know, vegetable and fruit peels contain plenty of antioxidants and other powerful nutrients.
Other less-popular parts of the produce, such as the core and seeds also hold other nutrients found in smaller quantities in the fruit itself (1).

  

Seed Saving

Seed Saving

Here is an interesting post about the need and indeed the importance of saving seeds.  Let's hope as many people as possible take this on board and save precious seeds for generations to come.

• “Open Sesame” shows the importance of saving heirloom and open-pollination seeds, which are threatened by agrichemical monopolies, GMOs, and gene patenting
• More than 93 percent of the variety in our food seeds has been lost as large multi-national corporations have swallowed up smaller seed suppliers
• Saving your own seeds, as well as obtaining seeds from seed swaps and exchanges, can help preserve what precious diversity remains
