Do you eat the skin on your potatoes?


Recommended Posts

Yep, it's the best part.

 

OK, question to those who peel if not organic-the potatoes are grown in the ground-the tops are sprayed? So it's a systemic pesticide, no? Peeling won't take anything off, then?

It should be noted that in many areas, potato crops are sprayed with chemicals to protect them from pests and disease. These pesticides can become concentrated in the potato skins. Any consumers who are concerned about the possibility of ingesting pesticides may want to purchase organically grown potatoes.
