Is there much nutrition in fruit that has been peeled for use in pie/cobbler?
Such as apples or peaches. I believe the nutrition is mainly just under the skin.
You’re right…the nutrition is mainly just under the skin. Thus, a lot of the vitamins, minerals and FIBRE is gone when you peel apples or peaches. On top of that, you cook the apples or peaches when you bake the pie. That just lowers the nutrient content in such apples or peaches even more. A good way to tell if the fruit is still nutritious is by looking at its final colour. Look at the colour of the peach once the pie is done. Is the colour still vibrant and rich as it was before it was peeled and baked? The closer the final colour is to the starting colour, the less nutrients the peach has lost. If the peaches in the pie are all pale and really there’s not too much colour left, most of the nutritious stuff like vitamins and minerals is gone. The one thing fruits really retain is sugar.
Hope this helps!
