What is “an Apple a Day Keep Doctors Away” ?
You can point out that apple seeds are located inside the apple’s core, which is normally thrown away in the garbage can. To those who did not know, apples belong to rose family, along with cherries, peaches and almonds. Some parts of these fruits, especially the seeds, contain natural chemicals that can be poisonous to animals when consumed. If it is not that obvious, apple seeds are known to contain amygdalin, which decomposes into benzaldehyde and prussic acid; that is, cyanide when consumed.
