Saroj, I have a question for you since I noticed in your last photo you skewer sweet potato with the skin-- is the skin safe?? I always thought it was (and the most nutritious part) until I saw some post (can't remember where, might have been on another forum) where somebody asked if baked potato was safe and another response said yes, but remove the skin. Is the skin safe????

I haven't been able to find too much yet, just this really:

Common sense practices can somewhat reduce pesticide residues on fresh fruits and vegetables. The USDA recommends that produce be washed under tap water before serving. Consumers should peel away and discard outer leaves, skin or rinds. Certain hardy vegetables, like potatoes and carrots, should be scrubbed if the fiber-rich skins are to be given to parrots.

by Caroline Swicegood (Winged Wisdom Pet Bird Magazine - Kitchen Physician III - Parrots, Produce & Pesticides. Safe foods for pet parrots, exotic pet birds - Birds, Birds, Birds) but it's from 1997?

I will have to go find the link again, but I found something that said that yams/sweet potatoes were lower in pesticides than other veggies


here it is, towards the bottom of the page

I am assuming this has to do with them growing under the ground

i thought we couldn't give the pom outer shell to munch on? I didn't read anything on it, just assumed the only edible part are the seeds.
Poms are starting to roll in over here, I got 4 small ones but 1 dollar each, not bad! But I didn't find any sweet potato

 

[GG.]

only the seeds are edible in the poms

 

[saroj12]

yeah they don't mess with the poms skin....it just stays on the skewer all bare and forlorn looking

 

[rockoko]

Did you ever taste the pulp stuff surrounding the seeds?!!
Ptttttth ptooey, ick ick ick,

 

[lamagdalena]

I was just asking in case I place mine on a skewer too and they end up nibbling it

 

[saroj12]

Ptttttth ptooey, ick ick ick,

well.....*someone* on here...first time she got a pom...thought the seeds were to be discarded, so she did and then chewed on the pulp stuff and came back and said Ptttttth ptooey, ick ick ick what is it you guys like about poms so much???
