    I honestly don’t understand why people don’t eat the core. It’s the same but a little more chunky. Why do so many people let perfectly edible and tasty food go to waste.

      I ate the core at school but the teachers made me stop because “the seeds are poisonous!”

        The seeds actually contain cyanide. Eating a single apple core doesn’t have enough to kill you, but if you fill a 4oz cup with apple seeds and eat them in one sitting, you’re cooked.

          Very true. However, that fact didn’t stop them from taking away my apple core.
