Is scrubbing quicker than peeling?

(Asks the guy who buys pre cut/washed and peeled carrots? )

(Or ready made shepherds pies! )

You'll have an allotment soon and then you'll extoll the virtues of your home grown carrots and the travesty of the washed and pre-cut no taste carrots that are in the shops.

I've heard you lose vital vitamins when you peel veggies as there are more concentrated closer to the skin. Besides the skin is added fibre.

Well it works for me. Not peeled a carrot in years.

So did mine but they bought veg which still had dirt and muck on from the greengrocer's. These days we can buy pristine veg from the supermarket. Just give em a good wash and chop up.

Buy organic, saves scrubbing the chemicals in the tap water into them

I must be well sad as I buy fresh veg and wash, chop and freeze them. If I don't they go off before I can eat them.

fruit and veg start losing their goodness as soon as they are picked

the frozen ones have more goodness as they are frozen as soon as they are picked but the "fresh" ones from the shop have been losing goodness for days

The cost of buying veg already chopped and in small portions is astronomical. When compared to buying fresh and the money I save goes on nice meals out and trips to the theatre etc.
