Some fruits and vegetables have skins that contain more nutrients than the intestines. Let’s find out what these 5 fruits are in the following article.
When eating fruits, people often peel off the peel and only eat the intestines, because they think the peel hardly contains many nutrients. However, today let’s join Vlux Vietnam to learn about 5 foods whose shells are richer in nutrients than the intestines through the following article.
1. Orange peel
According to many studies around the world, orange peels contain tengeretin and nobiletin, which help reduce the risk of cancer, fight inflammation and reduce bad cholesterol in the body.
You can use orange peel by grating it and eating it with green beans or chopping it and cooking it with melted chocolate to make a dessert.

Cucumber peel has a large number of vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the body such as potassium, antioxidants, fibre and vitamin K that support blood clotting and bone and joint health.
