Apple πππ pips and cyanide
- Apple seeds (pips) contain a compound called amygdalin, which releases cyanide when ingested π
- 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) π
- You'd need to eat a large number of pips to ingest a toxic amount of cyanide (around 100-200 pips) π€―
- 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! π
