Eat the peel!

I've long been frugal when it comes to food. I always zest citrus before use - it's not hard to find a use for the zest, whether sweet or savoury, and it adds such a great flavour kick. I tried making "vegan bacon" from banana peels once, but the result was so awful I was put off trying again. But I might try adding blended banana peel to bread dough.

Many years ago I learned that pesticide residues accumulate in the skin of some(?) root vegetables, so if I can't find organically grown carrots and parsnips I do peel them. I wonder does the same apply to potatoes. I really like potato skins...
