Is it normal to eat the core of an apple?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
Some people eat the whole apple, core and all; others find the texture or taste unpleasant. It’s generally harmless, though the core is tougher and more fibrous than the rest.
It’s less common than stopping at the core, but you’re not doing anything strange. The main difference is personal preference: some people don’t mind the tougher texture, while others find it unpleasant.
Eating the core is generally fine. Accidentally swallowing a few apple seeds whole is not usually a concern; just don’t make a habit of chewing and eating lots of seeds.
