Apple 🍎 pips or seeds have cyanide
Apple 🍎🍏🍎 pips and cyanide
- Apple seeds (pips) contain a compound called amygdalin, which releases cyanide when ingested 💀
- The amount of cyanide in each pip varies, but it's estimated to be around 0.06-0.1 milligrams per pip ⚖️
- The average apple contains around 5-10 pips (seeds) 🍎
- You'd need to eat a large number of pips to ingest a toxic amount of cyanide (around 100-200 pips) 🤯
- It's still best to avoid eating apple pips regularly, especially for children and pets, as it's better to err on the side of caution! 🙅♂️
Remember, while the amount of cyanide in each pip is small, it's still important to be aware of the potential risk! Always remove the pips before eating apples 🍏🍎🍎
