What percentage of an apple do you eat

[Easy Mac]

Not counting the core, just wondering. Your run of the mill apple.

This is a public poll, so your shame will be known.

[Easy Mac]

Dola,

Personally, I generally get to around 65-75% and just run out of steam. I hit my apple limit for that sitting, and its not staying fresh enough to eat the whole thing an hour later.

Ever eat the bark off a pineapple?

[Kodos]

I like apples better skinned and sliced.

[nilodor]

My friend eats the core as well fwiw.

Absolutely despise apples though I want to like them. I like pretty much anything apple flavored. But the texture of them simply turns my stomach. I cant really bite into anything hard that my teeth sink into.

Anything apple flavored I love, I even will occasionally obliterated an apple in the food processor and eat it with nothing added or anything. Love the flavor.

Well ya gotta skin the thing because the skin is toxic. Secondly, don't eat the seeds, they're full of poison, but if you do, smoke a cigarette so it kills the poison.

Pears though, you can eat the whole damn thing.

[Kodos]

Actually, I believe the skin is the most nutritious part, if you ignore pesticides. But it is a texture issue for me, so I peel it off.

[Julio Riddols]

I never ignore pesticides.

I have a corer so I eat all of it. Except for whatever I give the dogs. I'd say like 7/8 of an Apple.

Didn't notice the 'not including the core' bit. I eat every single ounce of an apple I can get to.

Yep. I missed that, too. And I do the same thing with an apple.

I'm pretty finicky with apples. It's hard for me to find a decent apple I can stomach eating. It needs to be crisp and a thinner skin. If there is a soft/bad spot, I want to throw up.

I like my pears, nectarines, grapes, strawberries, bananas, and peaches pretty hard as well. I hate mushy fruit

Go vertically (bottom-to-top, in particular) and you can manage to eat the core, no problem.

[Glengoyne]

I said 100% because I read the bit about the core. I'm not a freak, I just read the fine print.

That said, I slice the apple. I don't just bite into it. There is a reason, but I love apples and have blocked that from my memory. Also apples have to be crispy to be eaten. None of those mealy varieties.

same here. I leave the core but eat everything else. I love apples, but Fuji Apples are the best, especially with crunchy peanut butter. I'll pass on green apples, the taste doesn't do it for me. Daughter and Antmeister love 'em though. My son and I don't really care for them.

I learned how to do that and it's all good
