As if it mattered where you were. You were trying to go “uhm, aktually”, but it’s incorrect info, so I corrected it.
For most people, the actual fruit is the healthier choice. Eating what is essentially pure fiber without even any nutrients (they’re all in the fruit itself mostly) wouldn’t really be the “more healthy” choice for anyone.
You’ve just heard a parent say “actually that’s the healthiest part” when you were a kid and didn’t like eating it, but it’s more folk wisdom because moms don’t like cleaning little bits of pith from the floor than anything that relies on actual nutritional science.
Can we agree that it’s healthier to eat both? Because that’s the actual choice here. No one it’s only the white part and let’s the fruit rot.
And my intention was to make a joke about seeing the bad thing in everything. “Look how much I care about you, I peeled it to the fullest” “Do you want me to eat an unhealthy diet?” Maybe not a very good joke but akshually I don’t care

You’re welcome.

As in not remove the pith? Yes, we agree.
Both of you should just man up and eat the seeds and peel too.
What seeds?
But if I have subpar mandarins and there’s the occasional one i usually just swallow it with the juices.
Peels can be used for drinks.
Yeah actually I quite like the peel in a cocktail or orange chicken. I was just joking around.
Western diet is actually notoriously low on fiber and high in sugar, and the citrus pith is also high in vitamin C.
So for many people eating the pith would actually be a healthier choice - in the context of their low fiber/high sugar diet.
