: 26, 2022

Recently I was shooting some videos with my team and casually mentioned that apple seeds contained cyanide. The guys were blown away by this and had no idea that eating a high volume of crushed apple seeds could be poisonous, so it got me thinking, what other unexpected foods pose dangers to your health if not prepared properly? Today we talk about the risks of apple seeds, puffer fish or fugu, raw cashews, potato eyes and green potatoes, lychee, elderberries, rhubarb, red kidney beans, castor oil seeds or beans, and nutmeg. There are proper ways to grow and prepare all of these foods to reduce the risk of complications, so make sure you’re always aware of where your food comes from and how it’s made! Did any of these surprise you?
