                                A raw, unpeeled apple contains significantly higher levels of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants than a peeled one. So, are apples better for you, peeled or unpeeled? The debate centers on balancing the maximum nutritional intake from the skin with potential risks, like pesticide residue.
