Why do we peel carrots? And apples?

[Visitor3]

I peel carrots just because they taste a little bitter to me if I don't and as for apples, if I'm eating them raw then I don't peel but if I cook them then I do. Mmm, good point about he fiber and nutrients ? I may have o start hiding the skin in mashed potato or something ?

I peel apples for DD cause if I am not stewing them, she will not chew the skin, and I have to dig around in her mouth to get it out.. She will hang onto it in her mouth for ages if I don't.

I don't peel carrots, I prefer the taste of them with the skin on.
