peelings
Removed fruit rinds
Peelings are strips of skin removed from fruits or vegetables: potato peelings, apple peelings.
The word appears most often in kitchen contexts, referring to the discarded outer layer after peeling.
Some recipes call for using peelings—candied citrus peelings, or potato peelings fried into chips.
