Why may hard fibrous peels be removed in a soft diet?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To make chewing and swallowing easier
Hard, fibrous peels can remain tough even after cooking and may require considerable chewing. For a person with weak chewing or swallowing ability, they can reduce comfort and possibly create a choking concern. Removing them helps produce a softer, more uniform texture. It does not increase fibre or make the food suitable by making it crunchy.
