Was thinking the same thing

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 34 points 5 months ago (4 children)

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 5 months 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

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 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cool. No one is forcing you to.

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

actually sometimes I am forced to peel carrots, thanks

Disagree, skin on tastes better.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

wrong, skin tastes better actually

[–] ta00000@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago

Some things need to be peeled and other things are optional

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months 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 5 months ago

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

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months 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 14 points 5 months 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 5 months 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 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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!

[–] axont@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months 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.

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

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

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

[–] goose@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months 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 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It just doesn't feel clean enough 😭

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

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

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months 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

[–] WilsonWilson@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

my mom told me vegetable skins have all the vitamins
