Apples are a popular and healthy fruit, and a big part of American culture and history.
They also have antioxidant properties that help protect against cancer-inducing oxidative damage, which can lead to various health problems.
Apples have five seed pockets, with varying numbers of seeds in each pocket.
Most people avoid the seeds, which have a bitter taste. Or, a person may drink juice that contains pulverized seeds.
If your mother ever warned you not to eat apple cores, it was with good reason. They have those rough middle sections full of seeds, and those seeds can harbor concentrations of molecules called cyanogenic glycosides.
So, it seems like a good idea to steer clear of that crunchy center, right?
Some believe that apple seeds are poisonous, while others consider them to be healthful.
This video explores the research into the safety and risks of eating apple seeds.

We've recently talked about the benefits of natural apple juice on this channel,
and we even gave you a recipe to make at home. But then there were some doubts.
Can I eat apple seeds? The apple is probably one of the most popular fruits in the world,
but no one really likes their seeds. Since they have a bitter taste,
most people don't eat them. But sometimes they are ingested by accident,
since most people don't bother to remove them when they're cutting or biting into the fruit.
Many people even believe that the seeds are poisonous.
Are apple seeds bad for our health? Can we eat them without worrying?
The truth is that while they don't do any harm, apple seeds do have certain elements that may
be slightly toxic, like amygdalin, along with some nutrients. Inside them there is a compound
called amygdalin that, when in contact with the enzymes of the human body, releases cyanide,
which is responsible for producing a gas that is very poisonous to our body.
It can actually kill us, even in small quantities.
But don't worry, swallowing one or two seeds will not hurt you.
According to a study performed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
it would take about 200 apple seeds for you to feel symptoms,
such as shortness of breath and seizures. On the other hand, apple seeds have been classified by
many experts as one of the most potent natural anti-cancer ingredients.
According to scientific studies, apple seeds have an action capable of inhibiting the growth
of malignant cells in different types of cancer, such as colon, stomach, breast,
pancreas, prostate, and lung cancer. The phytochemical compounds of these
seeds have proven to be a thousand times better than the drug used for chemotherapy,
adreamycin, because it slows the growth of cancer cells.
The most incredible of these facts is that consuming the apple seeds will only destroy
the cells that cause the cancer, without affecting the healthy cells.
So don't worry, apples, besides being healthy, don't have enough seeds to poison you.
So, keep eating them!
