Using the peel of fruits such as apples in recipes is a great option, as you avoid waste and take advantage of important nutritional sources (which would otherwise go to waste). The problem is that pesticides are also present in the bark. If you choose to follow any of these recipes, give preference to organic food peels, which have not had contact with pesticides.

• Research proves that pesticide penetrates beyond apple peel

If this is not possible and you still want to do it, wash the fruits and vegetables very well (no soap) before removing the skin and place them in a solution with water and baking soda and then in water with vinegar - let them soak for a while. about 15 minutes in each solution.
