The healthy food you're wasting

BBC Radio
About this episode

Many of us don’t eat the healthier parts of fruits and vegetables, according to a new study. In fact, things we often throw away, such as the seeds of a pumpkin or squash, or the peel of a kiwi, contain more fibre than the parts most people eat, experts found.

Fibre is an important part of a healthy diet and many of us don’t eat enough. So, eating more parts of fruits and vegetables that often get wasted could be an easy way to stay healthier.
