Craters in my Asian pears

[digitS']

I'm wondering if juice is a good use for Asian pears that are difficult to peel.

There are a number of recipes that say "do not peel." They often call for lemon juice and one, for ginger!

We buy Asian pears every year but I haven't had any in the juicer.

Red my mother peeled everything, I always wondered about loosing the most nutritional part.

I peel very little and try like heck to convince my family it is because I love them so much I want them to be their healthiest. They know how much I hate peeling veggies. Used to be, eating the peels would get you a better meal than eating what was left after peeling so I just quit.

Believe it or not, but I have been given 4 (count 'em) four different peeling machines by family members who wanted out of the task themselves. A couple worked pretty well for a while, but none worked as well as a good stiff brush under running water -- clean, cut and cook -- don't peel.
