We already heard endless talk about nutritious benefits of vegetable and fruits peels but we are not using it properly. This discard portion is fully loaded with regenerating diseases fighter and pickles / Thogayal are the best way to include it in our diet. Peels from vegetable like potatoes, Carrots, Chayote / chow chow, Raw banana, broccoli stalk etc can be used for this thogayal..Best with roti and rasam rice and can also be used as bread spread...
