"lemon peel" in the usda db doesn't seem to contain that much so I wonder if it's the zest and not the white stuff that has been measured...</p><p></p><p>In the summer naturally I'll just buy lots of melons and such top sources.</p><p></p><p>Thanks for reading!</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/rinds-and-skins-and-peels-oh-my-fruitdump 2013-12-08T07:31:02.000Z 2013-12-08T07:31:02.000Z ripenraw https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/ripenraw <div><p>OK, so I am new to the Fruitarian movement and I have been watching ALOT of videos: NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is talking about what to do with all the waste. Fruit produces alot of inedible waste. I did spy a pic from Durianrider.com of a FRUITDUMP (Hilarious, I might add) all that was missing were seagulls. Can somebody help me out? The idea of tons of peels, rinds, skins, husks just seems over-whelm-ing.</p><p></p><p>thanks in advance</p><p>Tony</p></div> https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/banana-peels 2011-12-10T19:46:01.000Z 2011-12-10T19:46:01.000Z Parker https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/Parker <div>1.
