That's a shame, since the skin of fruit is often the best part - for flavor and health.

That's what I usually say, but I mostly say it tongue-in-cheek -- the main reason I don't peel my fruit is that I can't be bothered to.

Yeah, the nutritional profile of cucumbers or potatoes varies markedly by whether or not you consume them with skin intact...
