Glucose content in fruit skin?
Hi Sneezywheezy,





The glucose content of a fruit's skin will be minimal in most, if not all, fruits.





The reason for this is that the skin's purpose is to serve as a protective layer for the fruit (which is the reproductive "seed" of the plant).





Glucose is produced by a plant as its food and serves the same purpose in its fruit/seed. This food is stored in the fruit/seed to provide it with enough energy to propagate, until it can start to produce its own food.





That does not mean that all skins should be discarded or that they are not beneficial to humans. Many fruits have valuable nutrients and fiber, and even have medicinal value. Some fruit skins actually assist your digestive track with the digestion of glucose.





I hope this helps.
