Some more obscure interesting facts you probably never knew. I'm also sure you never gave any of these trivial facts any thought either. 
But like a good quote here is an obscure fact (at least to me) I found which you can spring on someone to impress them with your amazing knowledge of useless information. 
They say..."An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But there is one part of the apple that is not so healthy and should be avoided. Do you know what it is?
BEWARE THE APPLE
-We know from the Bible what trouble Adam and Eve got into from apple tasting. And we know Snow White's fate from taking a bite out of that delicious fruit. But did you know the one part of an apple that you should avoid?
It's the SEEDS which contain cyanide! Cyanide is poisonous (even deadly in high doses), if chewed or swallowed so stick to the sunflower kind. 
"So, how do you like them apples?" Did I surprise you with that obscure fact or were you Apple-solutely sure you knew that one!

I did not know this until maybe the last year.
Now I know why my Father always told us not to swallow apple seeds.

@RebeccasFarm And here I thought bananas was #1. Guess apples are very "appeeling!”

I must admit I never knew the potential dangers. Not much of a seed chewer, but best to stick with something healthier like sunflower or sesame.

@dgobucks226 I didn't know the first fact but I did know they can take some years before they fruit. Quite a lot of fruit trees are like that but perhaps not quite so tardy.

Not that I would eat the seeds of an apple, but if I did eat seeds a safer and healthier choice would be pumpkin, sunflower or sesame.

I knew that about the seeds containing cynaide. You would need to eat quite a few of them for it too kill you though, lucky for us apple lovers..

Ha, ha! Thank goodness. If one did want to chew seeds a safer and healthier choice would be pumpkin, sunflower or sesame.
Other Apple Facts: Did you know them?
1. If you’ve ever wondered why apples float it’s because they’re 25 percent air, which makes bobbing for them much easier, lol.
2. One of George Washington’s hobbies was pruning his apple trees.
