While many seeds are good for health and a source of protein and fibre, there are seeds that you must never eat or avoid eating as much as you can. Take a look at why.
Lychee Seeds
Lychees are delicious, juicy, and sweet. However, their seeds have natural toxins that can poison the human body. Many studies have concluded that they contain amino acids that can affect glucose levels.
Apple Seeds
Apple seeds are known to contain amygdalin. If you eat them, the compound can release hydrogen cyanide. However, if you accidentally eat a seed, don't worry, it would not cause any harm.
Tomato Seeds
People with kidney issues are often suggested to avoid eating tomato seeds. They can lead to kidney stones. It happens because the seeds contain oxalate.
Raw Kidney Beans
Raw kidney beans contain high amounts of phytohaemagglutinin that can cause red blood cells to stick together. Hence, you must always cook them.
Other Seeds
Similarly, avoiding eating seeds of peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots is advisable. You must discard these seeds while enjoying pulpy and juicy fruits.
