Don't waste the nutritious shells and seeds.

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

1. Melon seeds

Cantaloupe seeds are rich in protein, fiber, vitamin E and magnesium. So you should not throw away the seeds when eating, or you can put them in the microwave, add a little olive oil and enjoy.

2. Onion peel

Onion skins are rich in quercetin, a compound that may help lower blood pressure and support a healthy immune system.

Add onion skins to stews or broth to enhance the flavor of your dishes, then scoop them out before serving.

3. White flesh of watermelon

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

Throw them in a blender with strawberries and orange juice and you have a great refreshing smoothie for the hot season or chop them up and add them to a salad for a great treat.

Watermelon pulp is also rich in nutrients.

4. Broccoli leaves

Broccoli/cauliflower leaves have similar nutritional value to broccoli, including lots of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium. So chop them up and stir-fry them with the broccoli.

5. Celery tops

Celery tops are flavorful and high in bone-strengthening vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. Eat them as an herb and add them to vegetable or chicken soups.

6. Orange peel

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