Can you eat snow pears with the skin? Pay attention to these things

Many people know that eating pears when you have a cough is very effective in relieving coughs, but many people don’t know whether pears can be eaten with the skin. From different perspectives, there are different opinions on eating snow pears with the skin. If you want to eat it with the skin, you must wash off the chemical pesticides on the skin.

1. From a health perspective, it is best to remove the peel when eating snow pears, because most of the snow pears on the market now have certain pesticides and other substances residues, which are difficult to wash thoroughly with clean water. Of course, using special detergents for fruits and vegetables can indeed remove residual pesticides and other harmful substances, but after all, there will still be a certain amount of chemical residues, so peeling the skin before eating is the best choice. In fact, there is not much nutritional loss after peeling. The reason why some nutritionists do not recommend peeling certain fruits before eating is mainly based on their nutritional value. Eating the peel is good for the human body. The snow pear peel contains most of the nutrients in the flesh, and its medicinal effects are more obvious, especially when used as medicine. It has the effects of reducing fire and heat, relieving cough and promoting salivation, clearing the heart and moistening the lungs. These are recorded in many Chinese medical books in my country, and modern medicine has also proved this.

2. In fact, whether or not to peel the fruit before eating it does not have much practical significance. From the perspective of taste and absolute health, it is naturally best to eat it with the skin peeled. From the perspective of nutritional value, it is of course better to eat it with the skin. However, the nutritional difference between the peel and the flesh is very small, and the impact on the human body is not obvious at all. Whether to make the taste better or to pursue almost no difference in nutrition is entirely a matter of personal preference.

3. Pears should not be eaten with crabs to prevent diarrhea (Gastroenterology). Pears are sweet, slightly sour, and cold in nature, while crabs are salty, cold in nature, and slightly toxic. Both are cold and sharp foods, and eating them together will damage the stomach and intestines.
