Should I peel carrots?
Peeling carrots is not necessary from a nutritional standpoint,
as the skin and just beneath it contain valuable nutrients and fiber.
However, there are reasons why you might choose to peel them. The skin
can sometimes have a bitter taste or be tough, which peeling removes.
Additionally, peeling can eliminate any residual dirt or pesticides on non-organic carrots,
even though washing them thoroughly can also effectively reduce these residues.
If you prefer to keep the peel for its nutritional benefits, scrubbing carrots
well under running water with a brush is a good practice to clean them thoroughly.
For organic carrots, washing might be more appealing as
they are grown with fewer chemical pesticides.
Ultimately, whether to peel carrots comes down
to personal preference and the intended use in recipes.
Eating them with the peel on maximizes their nutritional value,
while peeling can enhance texture and remove any unwanted residues.
