That's rather simplistic.
If you need fiber and usually eat too many sugars, then yeah, maybe.
If on the other hand you're malnourished and have scurvy, the actual fruit would be the "most healthy."
I hereby apologize for being simplistic on a meme community. Also I am privileged enough to never have suffered from scurvy. I am sorry for invisiblizing this sickness. Thanks for reminding me of my privileges.
As if it mattered where you were. You were trying to go "uhm, aktually", but it's incorrect info, so I corrected it.
For most people, the actual fruit is the healthier choice. Eating what is essentially pure fiber without even any nutrients (they're all in the fruit itself mostly) wouldn't really be the "more healthy" choice for anyone.
You've just heard a parent say "actually that's the healthiest part" when you were a kid and didn't like eating it, but it's more folk wisdom because moms don't like cleaning little bits of pith from the floor than anything that relies on actual nutritional science.
You're welcome.
Western diet is actually notoriously low on fiber and high in sugar, and the citrus pith is also high in vitamin C.
So for many people eating the pith would actually be a healthier choice - in the context of their low fiber/high sugar diet.
