      Here are fruits of which you can't eat any other part of their plants: tomatoes, potatoes, cashew. Any part that is green, a fruit or exposed to sunlight of any nightshade is mostly really poisenous - with the exception of common tomato plants as the fruits of wild tomatoes are also toxic. That means that potato berries are also toxic.

      ​​@@FrankHarwaldthat isn't true. You can totally add fresh tomato leaves to food. It bumps up the fresh tomato flavor. There is not enough solanine in them to be poisonous. YT won't let me put links in comments but you can easily verify this yourself.

      When I glanced at the title I kinda expected something maths based like the Fibonacci numbers showing up in radial symmetry of many fruits. I guess that's coming some day. Especially now Combo Class is officially in part a food channel. 🍎⭐🍏

    I think it's worth elaborating just a bit about the health risks at play. Apart from allergies, the pesticides are *generally* the thing to worry about. In other words, wash your fruit well and you should be golden to eat 100% of it.

      In a supermarket there was a warninng note that their orange peel is not for consumption because the pesticide gets into the deeper layers. Since then i was afraid to eat the orange peel even after washing.

    • @EchoLog

      Depends on the kind of pesticide or added hormone
      Some soak into the skin, pith, and fruit and washed or not, none of that food should be eaten by humans

      @@KingLarbear Leave only footprints, take only pictures.
      Reasons I do not throw away fruit peels:
      Environmental impact: Fruit peels take a considerable amount of time to decompose naturally. When discarded on the ground, they can create environmental problems by littering parks, streets, or natural areas, negatively impacting the aesthetic beauty and cleanliness of the surroundings.
      Hazardous for animals and insects: Fruit peels can be harmful to wildlife, particularly smaller animals and insects that may consume or get entangled in them. In some cases, animals might mistake fruit peels for food, leading to potential digestive issues or even choking.
      Promotes spread of pests: Left on the ground, fruit peels may attract pests like flies, rodents, or insects that are drawn to the decaying material. These pests can become a nuisance, as they spread diseases or contaminate food sources in the vicinity.

    a lot of fruit with peels in the US are allowed to handled differently because the skin is not meant to be eaten. don't eat any skins or any fruits unless you wash them THOROUGHLY. imagine that literal horse poop has been rubbed on your fruit and then wiped off with a dry cloth, because that's exactly what happens.

    Candied citrus peels and pickled watermelon rind are things I've had before and they're pretty good! When you think about it we as a society have a fairly narrow range of things that we regularly eat and cultivate when there's all sorts of edible things out there. A fun thing to do it to learn about your local plants so you can know which ones are edible. It's pretty surprising to learn that a lot of what we consider to be weeds are edible. If you do want to forage for plants though be careful where you do it because eating plants that have had pesticides and chemicals sprayed on them is not a good idea.

      Potatoes (and tomatoes) are members of the Nightshade family, and can have toxins in the potato skin (especially in older, "overripe" potatoes - a dark green layer under the peel is a potential danger sign (a little light green is probably safe)). Usually the amount of the toxins is low enough to be safe for human consumption (especially younger / fresher potatoes are basically always safe to eat, even raw), and cooking also destroys the toxins for added safety, but there have been instances of potato skins causing harm. In tomatoes' case, the fruit never contains the toxins, the toxins only exist in the roots & leaves (and are still much lower than in Nightshade proper).

    I heard that many peels are just not RECOMMENDED for eating if you can't tell how the fruits were grown, because some vendors apparently inject the peel with some chemicals that keeps the fruit from rotting too fast. And that chemical often makes the peel actually dangerous to eat.
    Again, just what I heard, I'm sure it only holds true in some cases.

      They mostly are, but if you ate hundreds of apple cores in one day it would be poisonous since the seeds do have a small amount amount of cyanide. I made a previous snack break episode about apples that includes that topic

    I'be been eating mandarins and lemons with the peel my whole life, they're incredibly flavourful and delicious! Will try watermelon rind next, maybe I'll pickle it as the Koreans do

    I used to eat orange peels as a kid. Pretty tough to 'stomach' though.
