1. Apple Seeds
Apple seeds contain amygdalin, a substance that releases cyanide when digested. While the small amounts typically ingested won’t likely cause harm, it’s best to avoid the risk.
Alternative: Chia Seeds Instead, try chia seeds. They’re safe and packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, making them perfect for sprinkling over yogurt or blending into smoothies.
2. Cherry Pits
Like apple seeds, cherry pits also contain amygdalin. Eating cherry pits is not common practice, but accidents can happen, especially if they’re not removed from the fruit before consumption.
Alternative: Flaxseeds Opt for flaxseeds as a safe and nutritious alternative. Ground flaxseeds are easy to digest and can be a great addition to your morning cereal or baked goods, providing a good source of lignans, which promote heart health.
