]]> When it comes to eating vegetables, specifically cucumbers and carrots, there’s usually a bit of a controversy. This controversy boils down to one similar question: if you’re eating it raw, should you peel it or not? Whichever side of the spectrum you fall on, it’s important to note that there is a solid division out there. There are many who feel that the skin makes a carrot or cucumber less tasty—and there are others who feel that regardless of taste, you get all the nutrients from the skin and therefore you must keep it. However, we have a solution to this issue.

We completely hear both arguments. We’ve experimented with both, and both ways are enjoyable. But we’ve also come to the conclusion that you can actually do both options at once, and here’s how.

Let’s say you’ve got your carrot, it’s rinsed, and it’s ready to be peeled. Take out your peeler, but instead of peeling the whole thing, only peel half of the carrot.

This might sound like a wonky decision, but if done right, it actually provides an elegant solution. If you peel your carrot in vertical stripes, you should get the best of both worlds. By the time you’re done, it should look kind of like a zebra, but inside of black and white stripes, it’s “unpeeled” and “peeled” stripes. Give it a try and tell us how it went!

]]> Peeling vegetables and fruits often comes down to personal preference, but some of them are healthier and more nutritious if you leave the peel on—including these five tasty veggies.

Tomatoes

It’s common to peel tomatoes before cooking them, but it’s not necessary because using them with the peel can increase the amount of nutrients.

Potatoes

Potato skin contains a lot of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, so you should just carefully wash your potatoes before cooking them instead of peeling them.

Raw Beets

Raw beets can be shredded and used in a salad and there’s no need to peel them beforehand, as long as you give them a good scrub.

Cucumber

Cucumber skin can be super healthy, but make sure to wash it really well to get rid of the waxy layer.

Zucchini

Zucchini and eggplant can both be eaten with their skin on—they’re mostly made of water, and skin happens to be their most nutritious part.
