Why can't I say "A banana has a rind or peel" and "An apple has a rind or peel"?

Hi User_gary,
I've been offline for a while, moving to a new area.
In the UK, we just don't use rind or peel for the outer skin of a banana or an apple (nor for a pear, peach, mango or plum!). The verb, however, is 'to peel', so you would say "I peeled the skin off the banana" or "I peeled the banana".
