Which is the most healthy part of Fruit?

The benefits of fruit skins

The edible skins of many of the World's Healthiest Fruits - including apples, apricots, , figs, grapes, pears, plums, prunes, raisins and strawberries - are all sites of important biological activity in the life of the fruit.

The skin is one of the places where the fruit interacts with sunlight, and forms a variety of colored pigments that absorb different light.

These pigments, including carotenoids and flavonoids, are well researched as nutrients that protect our health and nourishment.

The skins of whole fruits like grapes have actually been studied for their ability to help lower risk of cancer and help provide protection from ultraviolet light.

Unfortunately, when fruits are juiced, we don't always get to enjoy the fruit's skin.


The reason for this emphasis on whole fruits versus fruit juices is simple: regardless of the fruit and regardless of the method used for juicing, the most diverse and intact collection of nutrients comes to you through the whole fruit!

The benefits of the fruit pulp

In addition to the skin, which is an important source of fiber in most fruits, the pulpy part of the fruit is also a source of fiber (and other nutrients).

Although many commercial products will say "pulp added" on their labels, the "pulp added" many not even be the original pulp found in the whole fruit, and it is highly unlikely to be added back in the amount removed.
