The apple core refers to the central part of the apple, containing seeds and fibrous tissue that surround the fruit’s interior. While often discarded, the apple core is edible and contains trace amounts of nutrients like fiber and small quantities of antioxidants found in the surrounding flesh. Originating from apples, a staple fruit in cuisines worldwide, the core can be consumed raw or blended into smoothies to minimize waste. However, apple seeds within the core contain amygdalin, which can release small amounts of cyanide when metabolized, making them unsafe to eat in large quantities. The core’s fiber can support digestion, though it offers fewer nutrients than the fleshy parts of the apple. If eating the core, it’s best to avoid excessive seed consumption and wash the apple thoroughly to remove any pesticides. Including the core in your diet can be an eco-friendly choice that reduces food waste.
