Tropical Skins
Posted 9:37 AM

Just noticed that we never eat the skins of tropical fruits (banana, mango, papaya, kiwi), but we do eat the skins of pears, grapes, apples, etc. There's probably a good reason why tropical fruits evolved thicker skins, but I'm not sure what it is. Anyone out there have a theory?
