4. Appreciate the peels

Removing the peels from produce is another common cooking mistake. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins and other nutrients. You may be surprised to learn that peels usually contain most of the dietary fiber and mineral content. Peels are also rich in phytochemicals, antioxidants, and vitamins, so discarding peels from your produce also lowers nutrient density.
