i fucking hate bananas, why do you ask?

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 7 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.

Dying for a struggle session

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 8 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.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

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

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 15 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.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 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.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. No one is forcing you to.

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

actually sometimes I am forced to peel carrots, thanks

Disagree, skin on tastes better.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

wrong, skin tastes better actually

[–] ta00000@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Why are you bringing up the most unnecessary veg to peel? Give me your peelings I'll eat them instead of you don't want nutrients.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Call me a dirty hedonist but I like when things taste better.

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh as someone who peels carrots for the aesthetic the difference in taste and nutrition is extremely marginal

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Do you marinate your carrots before cooking?

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

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Some things need to be peeled and other things are optional

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 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.

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 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.

[–] CrackBurger@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 11 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!

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] axont@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 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.

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

[–] goose@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

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

my mom told me vegetable skins have all the vitamins

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 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.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It just doesn't feel clean enough 😭

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 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
