1. Potato and carrot peel.
Most of the nutrients found in potatoes and carrots, such as vitamin C and potassium, are preserved if these vegetables are consumed together with the skin. It also has a huge amount of fiber. In almost any recipe, carrots and potatoes can be cooked with peel.
2. Leaves and stalks of broccoli.
Like inflorescences, the leaves and stems of this superfood are equally tasty and rich in antioxidants, as well as fiber, but, unfortunately, they often end up in the bin. In addition, they are an excellent source of carotenoids and vitamins A and C. They can be consumed raw by adding to a salad. The stems contain a fairly large amount of fiber.
3. The peel of the melon.
The melon peel is rich in citrulline (an amino acid that helps improve blood circulation). Mix the peel with the pulp in a blender and get a tasty and antioxidant-rich cocktail.

4. The peel of the acorn squash.
It contains a set of vital antioxidants, including phyto-nutrients and fiber. Halves of this vegetable can be fried along with the peel. Thus, the dish will look more appetizing. A spoonful of maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt will make its taste unique.
5. Onion peel.
It is rich in quercetin, which lowers blood pressure and prevents clogging of arteries. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties, inhibits the production and release of histamine. Therefore, onion peel may be useful to those who suffer from hay fever.
6. Pineapple core.
It is more harsh and certainly not as appetizing as the flesh. The core contains a lot of nutrients. It is just a little harder and not as sweet as the rest of the pineapple. By eating it raw, you get all the nutrients of the fruit.

7. Lemon and orange peel.
The peel of these citrus fruits is a real storehouse of fiber, flavonoids and vitamins. According to unofficial data, the active chemical substance contained in the peel of lemons and oranges (D-lemonene) helps to relieve heartburn and indigestion. A good concentration of vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system and prevent respiratory infections. In addition, peel extract can be used as an antibacterial moisturizer, insect repellent, and even a kitchen fat cleanser. It is also used for teeth whitening. Pectin and fiber in a white layer under the skin can help curb appetite and suppress hunger for up to 4 hours.
8. Celery leaves.
Along with the fact that they contain five times more magnesium and calcium than stems, celery leaves are also rich in vitamin C and phenols - powerful antioxidants that help in the fight against cancer and heart disease, and even aging.
9. Beet stalks
They are rich in glutamine, antioxidants and phenolic compounds. The stems are as edible as the leaves. They can be steamed, like asparagus.
