Apple
PantryWhether you’re a fan of the tart green Granny Smith or prefer a fruity and crisp Gala, apples are one of the most well-loved fruits around the world, and have been for years – historical records show we were eating apples as far back as prehistoric times. Not only are they cheap and widely available, but they usually tend to grow quite easily and can be eaten as a snack, cooked alongside savory dishes, or worked into a dessert for fall-inspired deliciousness. You'll probably only find a handful of different varieties at your local shop, but there are over 7,500 varieties of apples. And although apples originated in Kazakhstan thousands of years ago, the saying “as American as apple pie” didn’t come from just anywhere: around a third of those varieties are grown in the United States. One thing you might not know is that the core of an apple can be poisonous to humans. The little pips or seeds contain amygdalin, which can turn into cyanide when it reaches your stomach. Of course, you’d have to eat a lot of cores for there to be any significant effect. Around 40 apples worth of seeds! So you can go ahead and eat your apples without any worries.
