Is it necessary to peel carrots before adding them to soups or stews?

I do, but maybe it’s just a habit. Don’t know if it’s necessary. At least wash them though.

Just give 'em a good scrub. Lots of goodness in the outer layers!

it sounds like everyone’s in agreement. Or, the peelings are mutual?

The carrot skin has the vitamins?
The potato skin has the dangerous chemicals.

???

I hadn't heard that about potato skins. I always like to eat the skins of baked potatoes and often slice potatoes without peeling them before they go into casseroles. I would think that unpeeled potatoes and unpeeled carrots would pose similar risks, both being root vegetables.

What about fresh ginger? Peeling it is a PITA because of all the crevices, and one cookbook I have says it isn’t necessary.

Also we have organic ginger here, which makes me feel better about the peel.

I've read those "expert" opinions CHAS quoted and I see nothing at all about potatoes, much less their skins (am I blind??)

I've always thought potatoes skins were by far the healthiest part of the potato - worth seeking them out in their own right.

I buy frozen chopped mirepoix and onions for longer cooking dishes. Works great.

But do I peel carrots? Sometimes, if the visual is important, like serving whole carrots.

This is closely related to our age group.
