APPLES

Contains no fat, cholesterol, or sodium (salt). 1 medium-sized apple: Contains no fat, cholesterol, or sodium (salt). Gives you more fiber than a serving of oatmeal. Has a bit of deadly hydrogen cyanide in the seeds!

Enzymatic Browning

Browning results from the fresh fruit being exposed to air and being affected by the oxygen in the air. High-acid fruits do not brown when exposed to air. Browning is not a reversible process.

To prevent browning, cover the fruit immediately after peeling it with a juice containing a high Vitamin C content, or salad dressing.

CYANIDE IN APPLES "Amygdalin" is a cyanogenic glycoside compound which commonly occurs in the seeds or kernels of apples, almonds, apricots, cherries, and peaches Normally, the presence of amygdalin alone in these seeds and kernels is not dangerous, however, cyanide can be formed when the seed is crushed and moistened. Acute intoxication and death have been reported in children following the ingestion of apricot seeds, which are capable of releasing 217 mg of cyanide per 100 g of moist seed.
