Is this true?
I've heard it all my life about how the crust or the skin has the most
vitamins, but I've never figured out how or why that would be. I've
never heard a doctor say it. I've never heard promoters advertise that
their product comes from the nutritious skin part of the carrot. I'm
wondering if it is another one of those things that parents dream up for
discriminating toddlers.
