If there are contaminants on the peel of the orange, you may get them on your hands!. If you then eat the insides of the orange without washing your hands you can transfer these compounds (pesticides, bacteria, etc!.) on to the portion of fruit you are about to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
In the case of oranges and bananas, you don't really need to wash the skin unless you're planning on eating it, in which case it should really speak for itself; it's been shipped as it is, been handled by a lot of people and probably has pesticides on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Although you are not eating the peeling, there are still many bacteria or chemicals that can get onto the part that your eating so you shouldn't take a chance so you need to wash the peelingWww@FoodAQ@Com
If you are going to eat the 'skin' then you have to make sure there are no chemicals on the fruit!. I never wash oranges or bananas though because I don't eat the peel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
