Macro Mondays – Poisonous
Poisonous apple, not from the Queen in Snow White, but an everyday apple that has potentially poisonous seeds, that can produce cyanide!
Apple seeds, as well as many other fruit seeds or pits, have a strong outer layer that is resistant to digestive juices. But if you chew the seeds, amygdalin could be released in the body and produce cyanide. Small amounts can be detoxified by enzymes in your body, but large amounts can be dangerous.
