When eating apples, do you eat the core?

Post Reply New Topic

Subject says it all, would like to find out whether eating apple cores is an aspie thing. Most people seem to throw them away. If you eat the core, why do you do this? If you don't why don't you?

Nope.

I dont because the hard bits get stuck in my throat and teeth, and the seeds are really yuck.

my cousin does this and it shocked me to my un-eaten core

No. Why? It's just not "good eatin'." Growing up next to 100 acres of apple orchard there was always another apple available (in the summer, anyway) , so why bother choking down the fiber-ous, un-tasty core?

I think I read that apple seeds are poisonous, but I suspect you would have to eat a very large number to do yourself harm. I am amazed that anyone eats the core.

People need fibers. I like apple cores. But I don't eat around the core like people do, I eat straight through the apple.So when I ate half the apple I'm starting at the core. I get shocked every time people get stuck with scraps of an apple.

Never.

I just eat around the cores, I don't seem to like it very much so I tend to just avoid it and throw away.

Oh, Androidbeing, you are back And you told me you forgot your password. No, I don't eat the core as there are pips, anyway the core itself is like stringy and fibrous, unpalatable to eat.

I eat apple cores because they taste the same as the rest of the apple, although I understand that the pips aren't nice and are probably poisonous (I try to spit them out), and the hard bits do get stuck in my teeth occasionally. I just don't see the point in carrying an apple core around with you when you can eat it

I used to eat the core, but I don't anymore.

The seeds in the apple have B17 which is known to kill cancer cells in the human body. They taste okay but I don't eat them often.

I just looked it up, apparently B17 is just a friendly name for the active ingredient of cyanide and that it's been illegal for a long time. I also read that it is a hoax that it is a cancer treatment/cure.

I guess that's a hoax within itself, because the government lies all the time. We've had a cure for AIDS for a while, there is one registered with the U.S. Patent Office, I've seen the file at the website. It's hiding in plain site, they just don't tell us because the corporations make more money off of treatment.

I used to eat the core, but I've gone years without eating apples frequently so I fell out of habit. Love apples, but I never think to eat them.

That is correct, but it is not illegal to eat the seeds. It's also found in apricot kernels which I don't believe is illegal and are still for sale as far as I know. Whether it's a hoax or not for curing cancer is debatable. I don't know but I tend to think the medical industry wants to debunk certain things pertaining to natural medicine. Calcium is definitely a great benefit in that regard for many ailments but it's easy to make people skeptical of these things. You aren't supposed to eat large volumes of course with B17 and for that reason it would need to be regulated, I guess.

Even though I realize you know what I meant, I do know apple seeds aren't illegal, just the drug contained in them. This is a similar (but not the same) situation with marijuana. Marijuana is generally illegal, however you will find marijuana seeds in packaged gerbil food, although they are sterile. I've eaten the seeds along with the core without even bothering to remove them.
