Don't waste those nutritious shells and seeds.

According to Prevention, watermelon seeds, onion peels, orange peels, watermelon rind… are things you usually throw away when eating. But did you know they also contain many nutrients that are good for your health?

1. Yellow melon seeds

Cantaloupe seeds are rich in protein, fiber, vitamin E, and magnesium. Therefore, you shouldn't discard the seeds when eating, or you can microwave them, add a little olive oil, and enjoy.

2. Onion peels

Onion peels contain a lot of quercetin, a compound that may help lower blood pressure and support a healthy immune system.

Add onion peels to stews or boiling water to enhance the flavor of your dish, then remove them before serving.

3. The white rind of the watermelon

Watermelon rind contains citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve blood flow. Therefore, you shouldn't throw away this important part of the watermelon.

Put them in a blender with strawberries and orange juice, and you'll have a great refreshing smoothie for the hot weather, or chop them up and add them to a salad – that's also fantastic.

Watermelon rind also contains many nutrients.

4. Broccoli leaves

Broccoli leaves have similar nutritional value to broccoli florets, including plenty of vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. Therefore, chop them finely and stir-fry them together with the broccoli florets.

5. Celery shoots

Celery shoots are very flavorful and packed with vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium, which strengthen bones. Eat them like a herb and add them to vegetable soups or chicken dishes.

6. Orange peel

Orange peels have a pleasant aroma, and they are also rich in fiber to support the digestive system and vitamin C to boost immunity. You can chop up orange peels and sprinkle them on fish, chicken, or cheese.
