Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Hi, Well, the citrus peels and watermelon rind are edible. Typically, people just eat the outermost part of citrus peels, as a seasoning, because the white pith tastes bitter, but I believe that when lemons and limes are preserved/pickled, you eat the whole thing. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.) I believe I've seen at least one recipe for a relish-type condiment where an entire lemon (minus seeds, I suppose) was mixed in the food processor with other things. Pickled watermelon rind is a Southern traditional food, and I think the rind is the best part of a slice of watermelon. Of course I don't eat the outer skin, but the pale green sour part is a treat! I remember reading on one of the vegsource discussion boards, some girl said she ate a canteloupe rind and felt just fine, but I can't imagine what would motivate someone to do that! I mean, anything my garbage disposal can't chew up, I'm not going to attempt. As far as feeling sick after you eat fruit with grains, it might just have to do with the fruit. I'm just guessing here, but I know that after I eat grapes, or dried fruit, sometimes it upsets my stomach. Maybe having a full stomach from eating the grains makes it a little harder to digest. Maybe it's just a personal idiosyncracy. Best wishes!
