Incidentally, the customary way of eating an apple wastes about a third of the apple. Instead of eating it from the side and throwing away the core, try plucking out the stem then eating the apple from the top. There's no perceptible core if you eat an apple from the top, just a few seeds.
- drewzero1 4y agoI like to eat it from the bottom and use the stem as a handle. Depending on the variety of apple the tough stuff around the seeds may be more or less palatable, but there is certainly flesh between the seeds that often gets wasted.

- vorpalhex 4y agoApple seeds in sufficient quantities will induce vomiting.
- saagarjha 4y agoThat quantity is definitely lower than what you’d be able to eat in apples.
- robonerd 4y agoMaybe that's why we don't see bags of apple seeds being sold next to sunflower seeds in grocery stores, but there's no way you'd be able to eat enough whole apples to poison yourself with those seeds. The supposed toxicity of apple seeds is greatly exaggerated. Yes, they contain a compound that is metabolized into cyanide. But so do many seeds and nuts, and our bodies are evolved to deal with it. The half-life of cyanide in your body is about an hour, it gets metabolized and doesn't accumulate in you. You'll never feel the effects of the cyanide even if you eat several apples a day.
