Poisonous Fruits....

Many of the fruits we might be eating are poisonous... well the seeds and pits are...

Cherries, plums, peaches, and apricots pits, chirimoya and apple seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which create cyanide (a toxic chemical compound)... This when eaten in small amounts will not harm but in larger quantities can cause harm, especially when chewed or crushed.

SO watch out for this next time your enjoying these fruits!
