Which vitamin is lost when peeled vegetables are washed?
[Edit]

Nothing nutritional is lost from a vegetable when you wash it, whether or not it is peeled. All washing does is rinse loose, external particles such as dirt off the surface of the vegetable. All vitamins are contained within the cells of the vegetable. Unless you have the technology to rinse or clean out every individual cell of the plant, it is impossible to "rinse away" vitamins. However, there are vitamins contained in the peel of some vegetables that will be lost when you remove the skin. Even still, washing it has NOTHING to do with vitamin loss.
