i fucking hate bananas, why do you ask?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

There's recipes that use banana skin.
I would never retry any of the ones I've found and made unless it was a literal famine situation.
But they exist.

You're either peeling or cooking wrong. It takes like a minute to peel a whole bunch of carrots and makes a massive difference. You should also be using said peelings when making stock.

I will die on this hill. Anti-peelers are using "food is only for nutrition" techbro-ass arguments.

You do you I’m just here for a struggle session

I'm on the no peel train cause I generally think it tastes better. Also no one IRL is making stock.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I make stock about every other month from trimmings. Literally just keep your veggie scraps in the freezer until you have enough then throw them in a crock pot with water for a day and strain.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, you can do that. I'm saying no one does.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone I know that has a garden (other than my parents) does it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know anyone with a garden. Apartment life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You don't need a garden for this, I don't have one right now, that was just the biggest category of people I could think of who regularly make stock lol.

Non peeler only if I'm making a rustic stew or a German potato salad because it's just feels more authentic. All other instances I peel and compost

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Peel your vegetables and feed them to your outdoor cat along with all the bugs you swatted

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does peeling a carrot even do, depriving yourself of valuable minerals.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It straight up tastes better in almlost all cases and you can still use the peelings for stock or for your compost bin. If you're that worried about the missing vitamins and minerals just eat one extra carrot.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

tastes better? lol

@ta00000 is right why are you doing this over carrots, at least make it about potatoes or something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just picked the easiest vegetable to peel. That said, in almost all circumstances aside from grilled over an open fire, peeled carrots do taste better.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i will never willingly peel a carrot, it's a waste of time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. No one is forcing you to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

actually sometimes I am forced to peel carrots, thanks

Grabbing a banana and just taking a bite out of the middle peel and all

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Some things need to be peeled and other things are optional

they make people at work peel the fucking cucumber they use for the salad bar

they make people PEEL the CUCUMBER for the SALAD BAR

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Cucumber skins irritate many people's stomachs.
English cucumbers don't but common cucumbers do.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Very specific situation but if you're pressure canning vegetables and it tells you to peel them, do it because the given time is for the lower potential c.botulinum load of peeled produce.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Be a plant.

Put all your nutrients on a thin dead layer on the outside where they're inaccessible to the live cells.

Profit.

I would peel my foreskin but my mom gave the okay for it to be ripped from my body

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun fact I ate mango skins for years before learning that's weird

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently that and kiwifruit skin are nutritious and edible, but also you will get whatever glyphosate wasn't washed off, and we know glyphosate is stored in the balls, so its a trade off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Woah! woah! woah! There's still plenty of veggie on that peel! You throw it in a pot and add some broth and tomatoes and baby, you got a stew going!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Nomming on a banana unpeeled like nature intended. monke-return banana-duck

oooaaaaaaauhhh me when the veggies are peeled (skin is good fiber)

When it’s time to eat the rich we all become Tibetan monks. No skin on my ~~veggies~~ ~~serfs~~ bourgeoisie

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Just for that, I'm keeping the peel on and adding extra peel

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

my mom told me vegetable skins have all the vitamins

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The only job I didn't hate peeling potatoes was the one where we used them for potato skin apps and I could peel with a knife to leave some flesh on.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hate peeling vegetables for stuff at work because then I have to hand wash the peeler and idfk how I'm supposed to? It's sharp? it's got teeth? steel wool will just scrape it up and blunt it? idk I take a steel wool and just gently try to get all the food bits I can but it's like i'd so much rather not.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just blast it with water and wipe it with a dry cloth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It just doesn't feel clean enough 😭

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's fine. Source: dishwasher for like 5 years, am now a sous chef.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

How dirty did it really get when all it did was peel some vegetables? It's not like it has raw meat on it
