    Banana peels are also edible and can amount to 50% of a banana's weight. And what does a banana cost, $10? You're throwing away $5 every time you toss a banana peel.

    Where the crap are you buying bananas at $10 a pop?

    Bananas are a hot commodity. People be slippin' on them.

    I have a friend who eats the entire apple and the entire orange - peel and all.

    I think it's disgusting.

    Then again, there are people in parts of the world who eat cockroaches. Maybe we should stop spraying our houses with pesticides to kill them and instead start trapping and eating them. Imagine the savings!

    I'm content to let the apple core go to waste.

    I used to take pride in eating entire apples including seeds. didn't die of cyanide poisoning but stopped once I learned of that danger....

    I used to eat the cores when I was a teenager because I was too lazy to get up and throw the core away. True story, bro.

    I love you so much for this.

    It's been a long time since I've seen it- so I have forgotten a lot of them.. Good job you. that's a flat out win right there!

    Word. The core is tough. No thanks.

    OP, can't you just add your apple cores to your compost pile / bin? Seems like a good way to avoid waste. Not to mock you. I'm sure you had good intentions.

    You could do that I was just saying how much we waste. I eat the entire apple sometimes but do compost/worm bin all wasted veggies

    Did you know you can eat the entire apple? The only part not edible is the seed. Its no such thing as an apple core you can eat it. If each of us eats an apple a day, as we all do, and we are all wasting 30 percent of our apples at $1.30 per pound, that's about $42 wasted per person per year—which is $13.2 billion annually, thrown in the trash. Its a video somewhere that shows how to eat an apple like a boss!

    Been eating whole apple for like 40+ years. Yep even crunch up seeds.

    LOL, yeah. :D

    I must be wasting a lot more of my apple, because always remove the peel before eating. Because I don't like it. You mad? :D
