23 Surprising Foods You Should Never Eat Raw

Apples

They say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but the tragic downfall of Snow White was a bite from an apple. Granted Snow White’s apple was poisonous, and yours likely aren’t, but care needs to be taken when biting into raw apples. Accidentally chewing on apple seeds which contain amygdalin will release cyanide. Although you might need to consume about 40 apple cores to receive a fatal dose, the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry (ATSDR) says that even a small amount of cyanide can be dangerous and advises against eating apple seeds.
