Usually, peel thick or inedible skins and remove hard pits or stones before juicing. Whether to remove an apple core or smaller seeds depends on your juicer’s instructions. Wash every fruit and vegetable first—even if you plan to peel it.
Wash produce before peeling or cutting
Rinse fruit and vegetables under running water before preparation. Dirt or bacteria on the surface can transfer to the flesh when you cut or peel the produce. For firm produce such as melons and cucumbers, scrub the surface with a clean produce brush, as the FDA recommends.

Which skins should you peel?
As a practical rule, remove skins you would normally discard or that are too tough for your juicer. Philips lists oranges, pineapples, kiwis, melons, pomegranates and uncooked beetroot as examples for the models covered by its produce guidance. Breville’s instructions likewise call for removing hard or inedible skins, including mango, citrus, melon and pineapple, for the applicable models (Breville manual).
Citrus: remove the peel, and consider the pith
Philips advises peeling citrus for its listed models because peel may be chemically treated and the white pith can taste bitter; it also recommends removing pith for flavor. Breville similarly advises removing citrus skin and excess pith. Wash citrus before peeling, as with other produce.

Which seeds, cores and pits should you remove?
Remove hard pits and stones
Stone fruits such as peaches, nectarines, mangoes, apricots, plums and cherries should be pitted before juicing under Breville’s guidance; Philips also says to remove stones from cherries, plums and peaches. These are manufacturer directions for their respective juicers, so check your model’s manual for its specific requirements.
Apple cores and smaller seeds depend on the juicer
There is no universal rule that apple cores must be removed. Philips says cores or seeds can remain in apples, melons and grapes on the models covered by its guidance. Sana, by contrast, says apples and pears can be juiced with their peel but recommends removing their cores, citing trace amounts of cyanide in apple and pear seeds (Sana juicing advice). Treat that as Sana’s recommendation, not a requirement for every juicer.

Use your juicer’s manual for edge cases
Manufacturers’ instructions differ in how they handle particular produce, and the right preparation can depend on the appliance’s design. Before juicing an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable, check the manual—especially if it has a hard seed, thick skin or core. Taste is another factor: even where a juicer can process a peel or pith, you may prefer the flavor without it.

Peeling does not make raw juice pathogen-free
Washing and peeling are preparation steps, not a guarantee that juice is free of harmful microbes. The FDA notes that outbreaks have been linked to untreated juice and cider, and that some juice sold by the glass may not carry a warning label. See the FDA’s juice-safety guidance for information about untreated juice.
