It's no myth that rabbits really, really LOVE carrots. Carrots are my rabbit's favorite food!

Too bad we can't see the results. I'd like to see the names of the assholes who do not peel their carrots.

Filtering dinner invitations are we?

Well I'm not in a closet -- I proudly voted that carrots have no skin. Which, since they actually don't, makes ALL the votes into a "no", since you can't "peel" a peel that isn't there.

So there.

There is a peel though. You can see it on the carrot, Pogo. It is just a thinner skin than would be on some other veggies. ALL veggies and fruits have a skin.

Pogo ~ 58.8% of people agree that peeling carrots is best.

not exactly------a CARROT is A ROOT-----it is not a peach or an apple. or even a rhizome like ginger-----it is a ROOT-----a potato is a tuber---not exactly a root---more like a stem or rhizome. I am not sure that ROOTS have what can be called a SKIN --------ginger is a rhizome----it does seem to have an outer skin like coat as do the tubers POTATOES. The stuff I peel off of carrots or scrub off-----are rootlets with------some scum stuck on them. Ask me human anatomy------I am a bit rusty on BOTANY. The green top of the carrot is-----the "VEGETABLE"-----related to parsley-----fuzzy green stuff. A potato has veggie on top------as does a beet and a turnip. I am not sure what an onion is

Actually IIRC what you said was that "everybody peels carrots". 58.8% would not seem to be quite "everybody". Even that surprises me though, since until you brought it up I never even heard of such a thing.




---- even if they did have a skin you could "peel".

Hmm. What does THIS say? I believe it is referring to the carrot skin.

Many of a carrot's nutrients are found in the skin and immediately beneath it
