Is it true that the vitamins of the apple are just under the skin?

Answer

Just like us, vitamins often serve as a defense against harmful substances, bacteria and fungi. One of the best-known vitamins, vitamin C, for example, works as an antioxidant.

With apples, the peel acts as a buffer to the outside world, just like our skin, for example. The peel contains many vitamins to carry out this protective function. If you peel the skin of an apple thick and throw it away, you do indeed lose a lot of vitamins.

However, this is not the case with all fruits. With pears, the vitamins are distributed over the entire flesh, just like with oranges.
