Is consuming Mango skin Healthy?

Very good advice. But never saw any human eating mango skin. This is left for animals. 

No sir, In fact most of the fruits  have their rich nutrients in their skins.

New to me, as most of times skins are thrown up, but times is changing and with it comes newer revelations. 

The peel  consists of rich nutrients in their upper skin. I too did not know until now.

I never heard it but now I feel we should eat it. But that's not good in taste.

I normally eat mangoes with the skin since most good varieties have very thin skin... It is healthier to eat fruits with skin whenever possible since most of the nutrients are hidden between the skin and the pulp

I have heard it too but few of fruits like oranges are better to be eaten after being peeled off. ;-)

Normally we used to throw away the mango skin because it is hard and the taste is also bitter. But for some mangoes, the skin will be very thin and have some special taste, so we eat them without removing the skin, but without thinking about the health factor.

That's true skin of mango is bitter in taste if one compares it with the pulp. I have tried to eat mango with the skin but it's hard to eat it.

Actually this habit was developed from the childhood days. That is why we do not feel any irritation now while eating the skin.

Once the things are developed in the childhood they easily can be maintained.

Of course, you are not alone. Many of us usually throw away the skin. This includes me. Now that I knew about the health benefits of mangoe skin, I'll start it.

Still for me it is not easy as I don't like the taste of it,  I will try it let's see what happens ;-)

Try it. After all the bitterness may not last for a long time.

But article says that it contains urushiol which may cause allergy to skin.

Skin allergy. can be stopped by using Bananas in a limited way. Some exceptions may be there .It's up to the eater to find and choose.

No I was saying that eating skin of mango may not be beneficial always as it may cause skin allergies sometimes.

Mangoes skin is exposed to environment and most of times, eating might not be beneficial, for this mangoes are dipped in water for two hours before eating in my state. 

To that matter most of the fruits are exposed to the environment. But they never lose the nutrients.
