So, I prefer my skin on, think it taste nicer and is more healthy. My other half takes the skin off as she is concerned with the pesticides.
I presume washing the salad would remove as much as possible.
Is there much nutritional value in cucumber skin??
Cheers,
Actually, for any kind of natural food there is some nutritional value to the skin. Take even apples for that matter. However, with the pesticide usage we end up peeling the skin off even for the apples before giving it our daughter.
So, considering your health and realities of agriculture today, you might as well peel off the cucumber skin.
