Cooking apples worry

[willous1]

I have just bitten a couple of times into a cooking apple and noticed it wasn't normal because of how sour it was. Though nothing on it until my brother in law made a comment and then I looked online and am so scared. Are they dangerous?

No they are not dangerous, sour cooking apples don't taste good eaten raw but are good for cooking or making jam. It won't harm you eating it raw.

As far as I know they are fine to eat raw though most people, like me, find them too tart and acidic. People often put them in salads or eat them with cheese. I have never seen anything that says they will make you ill.

Raw cooking apples are so gross raw, super super sour! But not harmful. I agree with Annie0904 if you've got cooking apples kicking around make a crumble!

[willous1]

I hope so, I didn't have much but I hate google. Tasted horrible.

You are not meant to eat cooking apples - hence the name "cooking" lol.

They are far too tart to eat but no way can they harm you - why do you think this?

[willous1]

Google worried me as even on the search bar the word poison comes up. Feel sick thinking about it. Thought they were normal apples until I bit into it a couple of
Times then clicked on.

[Annie0904]

What did you put in google? It doesn't come up with poison when I put cooking apples in google and they are certainly not poisonous.

[willous1]

Just looked and I think it's the seeds in apples which can be a bit poisonous. Thank you for putting my mind at ease everyone. I'm now panicking as to why I bought cooking apples and then bit into one without thinking...this is not a normal apple . Dementia worries again. Oh well...I'm getting there

Haha your right, I need to calm down and let the anxiety die down before starting a thread. A few weeks ago I would have been thinking about this for ages. Instead I'm watching the football and not worrying.

Good Man! Football (American) has ended here. Arrrggg... Have to wait until August for the pre-season.....
