Peeling by Touch

Whenever anyone asks me how I go about peeling fruits and veggies, I tell them the following:  I use my sense of touch to help me complete my peeling chores. 

 

In the case of a carrot for example, the skin has a rougher feel to it then the actual flesh or inside of the carrot.  The same applies to a potato.  In the case of fruits, an apple's skin has a different feel to it then the inside of the apple.  The same would apply to other fruits. 

 

Bananas and oranges are very easy to peel; for anyone it is a breeze but I must say that in most cases, I normally leave the skin on the veggies and fruits.  I just wash it all first before cooking or eating.

 

When it comes to peeling the backs off such things as labels and stamps, or strips on envelopes and other things, I start with the very edge and peel slowly.  Easy if you learn how.  Not a problem if you are unable to see.

 

I'm Donna J. Jodhan your friendly accessibility advocate wishing you a terrific day and urging you to go out there and tell others how blind persons peel things.  Visit www.acb.org to learn more.
