My mother told me to eat the peels of the apples because that's where the vitamins are. Apparently other children's mothers have told them this as well. For a long time I believed the tiny spots on apple and pear peels were actual vitamins, akin to a crushed-up children's chewable vitamin somehow embedded in the peel.
