When eating or processing apples, the skin is often discarded, but studies have shown that apple peels are rich in antioxidants and biologically active substances. Eating apple skin is good for health.

Apple peel contains many biologically active substances, such as phenols, flavonoids, and octacosanol. These active substances can inhibit the angiotensin converting enzyme that causes high blood pressure and help prevent chronic diseases. Such as cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, reduce its incidence.

In addition, the intake of apple peel can reduce the incidence of lung cancer. Foreign studies have shown that apple peel has stronger antioxidant properties than pulp, and apple skin has higher antioxidation than other fruits and vegetables. The antioxidant capacity of the skin of an ordinary size apple corresponds to the antioxidant capacity of 800 mg of vitamin C.

Octacosanol in apple peel also has anti-fatigue and body-building effects. Apple peel can inhibit the enzymatic activity of tartar and the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity. It has an anti-corrosion effect and can protect teeth. Can also make the skin white and tender to prevent the formation of melanin, a cosmetic effect.

At present, many manufacturers have developed functional foods by extracting biologically active substances from apple peels. As a valuable food additive, apple skin powder can be used to produce fortified foods. Adding a small amount of apple skin powder can increase the content of polyphenols and flavonoids in foods.

Therefore, it is recommended that when eating apples, it is best to clean it and eat it with the skin.
