Apple Seeds and Cyanide

Amygdalin, found in apple seeds and other fruits, can potentially release cyanide when digested, but the risk is minimal under normal consumption. Chewing seeds thoroughly and consuming a large quantity—around 18 to 40 apples—would be necessary to reach dangerous levels of cyanide. Despite the theoretical risks, our bodies are generally equipped to handle small amounts of toxins, so enjoy your apples responsibly!
