When I eat an apple, I'll go around the sides and then finish off the center, seeds and all. Nothing is left except the stem if there was one. I don't usually think anything of this.
My friend saw me doing this the other day and said it was weird because you aren't supposed to eat the core. I don't think it tastes any different from the rest of the apple.
I do too. But the seeds are bitter to me, and I've heard they contain trace amounts of cyanide..? Not that it matters much I guess... I don't really like apples though, haven't had one in awhile
What do you mean "aren't meant"? Says who? I'm sure they're a good source of fiber.

Because that's how nature works. Flavors mean something, like whether or not a food is poisonous. The seeds are not good to eat and do not offer the body any nurishment. Unless you like cyanide for breakfast.
The seeds taste fine, I don't have any problem.
Just had an apple about 20 minutes ago for lunch.
And while we're talking about foods that don't offer the body any nourishment... I can think of plenty that taste awesome. Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut -- that stuff is great. It will completely ruin your body though, certainly more than whatever is in an apple seed.
Totally. When I eat apples the only leftover parts are the seeds and the stem.
If you continue to eat the seeds or pips as they are known one day a tree will grow out of your ass.
If you are lucky it will be an apple tree.
I used to do that. Now I use a knife to peel off the skin and cut out the core.
