Can orange seeds be eaten

Oranges are a very common fruit in our lives, but sometimes we find that the oranges we buy in spring contain orange seeds. These orange seeds look very white on the outside. Some people may accidentally eat orange seeds when eating fruits. If you crush them, you will find that the taste of orange seeds is bitter. So, can orange seeds still be eaten?

Eating 20 kilograms of oranges without spitting out the seeds nearly killed him

I believe everyone knows oranges. We all know that oranges have seeds, so when you eat oranges, do you spit out the seeds or eat them together? If you eat the seeds together, you should change this habit from now on. Just recently, according to media reports, a man in Hunan almost lost his life because he ate oranges without spitting out the seeds. It is understood that the man ate about 20 kilograms of oranges, but did not spit out the seeds. Therefore, a large amount of orange seeds remaining in the intestines can threaten life and health at any time. Finally, with the doctor's artificial treatment, the remaining orange seeds were removed and the patient was out of danger.

The story of a man who nearly died because he ate 20 kilograms of oranges but refused to spit out the seeds went viral on WeChat Moments. Many people are asking, since orange seeds are not edible, then should the seeds of other fruits such as kiwi and loquat also be eaten? Let's follow Min Fu Kang to find out.

Can fruit seeds be eaten?

I believe many people want to know this question. So, can grape seeds, watermelon seeds, pomegranate seeds, apple seeds, etc. be eaten? Let's take a look at the details.

1. Can grape seeds be eaten?

Many people like to eat grapes, but can they eat their seeds? In fact, from a nutritional point of view, grape seeds are very nutritious, but we also have to consider the issue of digestion. It is understood that if grape seeds are swallowed directly without being crushed, we will not be able to absorb the nutritional value of the grape seeds. But grape seeds contain a substance called tannin, which, once crushed, will coagulate the proteins in organs such as the tongue and mouth. Therefore, Min Fukang reminds that it is best not to eat grape seeds.

2. Can pomegranate seeds be eaten?

Pomegranate is one of the fruits with the most seeds, and each one is filled with a lot of pulp. But do you know? Pomegranate seeds also contain a large amount of fruit acid, which can cause fatal damage to the stomach and intestines once eaten. Therefore, pomegranate seeds are also not edible.

3. Can apple seeds be eaten?

It is understood that apple seeds are the least suitable to eat because they can lead to the formation of hydrocyanic acid, which can easily cause poisoning.
