Apple belongs to warm fruit, neither cool fruit nor hot fruit.

Apple is rich in various trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients needed by human body, and it is recognized as one of the most nutritious healthy fruits. Apple seeds are more known as the "library of life", and the nutritional content is more than 1 times that of pulp. Apple seeds contain a lot of plant hormones, which can effectively regulate human endocrine, promote cell microcirculation and improve cell activity.

However, apple seeds contain the toxic substance cyanosides. Cyanosides can be hydrolyzed into highly toxic hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in acid or under the action of biological enzymes. There are hundreds of micrograms of cyanosides in each gram of apple seeds converted into hydrocyanic acid, so there is almost no possibility of poisoning. However, when eating apples in daily life, we should also avoid eating the core part.

Taboos of apples

Taboos 1. Don't chew the apple core when eating apples

Apple core contains a small amount of harmful substance-hydrocyanic acid. A large amount of hydrocyanic acid is deposited in the body, which will lead to dizziness, headache, accelerated breathing rate and other symptoms, and may cause coma in severe cases. But don't worry too much, the hydrocyanic acid in apples mainly exists in the stone, but not in the pulp. Need to be reminded: eating apples is used to gnawing at the core, although it will not lead to poisoning immediately, but eating like this for a long time is really bad for health.

Taboo 2. Beware of waxing apples

Many apples use excessive growth promoters, erythropoietin and expansins in the growth process, or excessive preservatives in storage, and even use colorants, waxing, bleaching and dyeing in the sale, so as to satisfy consumers' psychology of "judging the fruit by its appearance". These toxic fruits have become public hazards that seriously threaten people's health. The danger of "poisonous apples": swelling element urges, erythropoietin adds color, and preservatives keep fresh.
