    You're either peeling or cooking wrong. It takes like a minute to peel a whole bunch of carrots and makes a massive difference. You should also be using said peelings when making stock.

        I will die on this hill. Anti-peelers are using "food is only for nutrition" techbro-ass arguments.

          I'm on the no peel train cause I generally think it tastes better. Also no one IRL is making stock.

            I make stock about every other month from trimmings. Literally just keep your veggie scraps in the freezer until you have enough then throw them in a crock pot with water for a day and strain.

                Everyone I know that has a garden (other than my parents) does it.

                    You don't need a garden for this, I don't have one right now, that was just the biggest category of people I could think of who regularly make stock lol.

                      You're still confusing what people's options are vs what most people do, which is throw out the peels

                        I never said most people make stock. All I said was that it's easy and I know a lot of people who do it.

            The stock making almost never happens for me.
            Plus some produce discards make the stock worse.
            But throwing it in a pile outside to break down into soil and help grow more vegetables (my thumb is gray so I only lightly supplement grocery store produce with home grown) is better than nothing I guess.

        Peel your vegetables and feed them to your outdoor cat along with all the bugs you swatted

        It straight up tastes better in almlost all cases and you can still use the peelings for stock or for your compost bin. If you're that worried about the missing vitamins and minerals just eat one extra carrot.

          tastes better? lol

          @ta00000 is right why are you doing this over carrots, at least make it about potatoes or something

            I just picked the easiest vegetable to peel. That said, in almost all circumstances aside from grilled over an open fire, peeled carrots do taste better.

      Why are you bringing up the most unnecessary veg to peel? Give me your peelings I'll eat them instead of you don't want nutrients.

        Call me a dirty hedonist but I like when things taste better.

          Tbh as someone who peels carrots for the aesthetic the difference in taste and nutrition is extremely marginal
