August is my all time favorite month for fresh summer fruits and veggies!  Who peels peaches and who eats the skin?  I often eat the skin unless it is extra fuzzy!

I eat the skin on all fruit that's edible.  That's where most of the vitamins are.  We are going peach picking on Sunday.

I eat the skin if it isn’t too thick, was going to buy some today but when I picked one up, my thumb went through it...too ripe! Anxious to make a peach cobbler....my favorite kind!

I may eat the skin but I scrub scrub it a lot first.  That peach fuzz breaks my lips out if I don't.    I haven't bought many yet but they were all tasteless.   I hope to get a good one before Xmas.

Peel it!   No peach skin for me.    Nectarines, yes!  Peaches, no!

 I eat the skin but wash it well.  I can't help thinking about the " Not of the Peach" stuff that ends up on that fuzz from orchard to truck to placing iit in the grocery store bin.

No peeling here unless I'm freezing them. Peaches are like holding summer right in the palm of your hand.

I think the thing about the skin and vitamins is a myth. Where did you hear or read that?

I keep on dancin'

Always eat the skin.

 

The struggle we have is to wash when brought into the house or right before eating.

The skin is a deal breaker for me.  Can't put that fuzzy stuff in my mouth.  Woman Tongue

I shudder to even think about it.  Can't eat pears either due to the texture.
