The inside of the apple is black

Apple is a fruit that everyone loves to eat, especially for some children. When parents choose complementary foods for their children, applesauce is a good choice. Because apples are rich in vitamins and some trace elements that are very beneficial to the human body. However, you should be careful when purchasing apples. Some people buy apples home and find that the inside has turned black when they eat the part close to the core. What causes this?

Sometimes we will encounter this situation. The apples we bought do not look problematic on the outside, they are full of moisture and have smooth skin. However, when we eat the part close to the core, we find that the inside of the apple has turned black.

In fact, this condition is usually called "apple core rot", which is a fruit disease. The disease is caused by a pathogenic fungus, which invades the fruit through the calyx pore when the fruit is still very young, and then slowly grows in the core. After picking and storage, the disease continues to occur, forming the symptoms of "black heart" apples. Generally, this symptom is not obvious from the outside.

So can we eat apples with black cores? After all, we have already eaten them. The fact is, after digging out the black core part, the flesh is still edible. So friends who have finished eating the apple don’t need to worry, just don’t eat the blackened apple core.

How to choose apples:

1. Choose apples with a neat appearance

When choosing apples, avoid those with odd shapes or defects. Choose those that are uniform, neat, and round in appearance.

2. Choose apples with a stronger aroma

The fragrance of ripe apples will be stronger, while the fragrance of unripe apples will be weaker. In addition, some people will apply a layer of wax on the apples to prevent them from losing moisture, which will make the fragrance of such apples weaker. Therefore, when choosing apples, you should choose those with stronger fragrance.

3. Choose apples with red and yellow

When choosing apples, you should pay attention to choosing ripe fruits and not unripe fruits. Therefore, it is better to choose apples that are red and yellow. Those that are red and green are likely to be unripe fruits.

Tips:

Do not eat rotten apples. When choosing apples, be careful not to buy bad or rotten apples. Eat the apples you buy in a timely manner. If you cannot finish eating apples, store them carefully to prevent them from spoiling.

If the inside of the apple is black, don't eat it. Be careful when choosing apples.
