Where do the apple peels come from?
-
Apple peels are a holdover from the apple industry. Normally, when applesauce is made, a lot of peels have to be discarded. But the peels contain a lot more nutrients than the rest of the apple. That is why it has been decided to offer dried apple peel powder as a supplement. Because it is dried, it is extra strong, about 20 times stronger than the same weight of regular apple peel. So many nutrients together provide a strong medicinal effect.
