Mango skins offer properties akin to resveratrol, aiding in fat burning and reducing fat cell production. They are rich in carotenoids, polyphenols, and omega-3 and 6, which support cardiovascular and brain health, while also boosting immunity.

Grape skins contain resveratrol, an antioxidant linked to cardiovascular health and longevity. This combines with the fiber in the fruit's flesh to support digestion and maintain healthy skin by combating aging signs.

Eggplant skins are rich in fiber and antioxidants, particularly nasunin, which protects the brain and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. Consuming them can improve bowel movements, assisting with weight management and effective body shaping.

Cucumber skins provide fiber and antioxidants. However, they may have a slightly bitter taste. It is recommended to choose organic cucumbers and wash them thoroughly to remove pesticides.

Potato skins are a source of potassium, iron, and niacin (vitamin B3). Potassium boosts metabolism, and iron supports red blood cell function. Vitamin B3 further helps break down nutrients for energy production.

The polyacetylenes compounds in carrot skins have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They are also abundant in vitamins A, C, K, and antioxidants like beta-carotene, which enhance vision, promote skin health, and support the immune system.
