Today, I found out that the seeds of the Cherimoya fruit are toxic. I found out by eating the entire fruit, including all seeds. FML

A safe way to go about eating any fruit: don’t eat the seeds unless you know they are safe.

I did, but I stopped reading when they quoted somebody as saying it is better than pineapple. Inconceivable! Just for future reference for people, the pits of peaches, cherries, plums and apricots are also deadly poisonous when ingested because the turn into a form of cyanide.

Although they do contain a compound that breaks down into hydrogen cyanide, you would have to eat around thirty raw peach pits (even more of the others) in a day to get enough cyanide to suffer any ill effects. And then it would take even more to get seriously ill.

Well, it's true. They are usually better than pineapples (and believe me, I love pineapple). As for eating the seeds... they are pretty darn big, it's like swallowing a huge pill each time!

Apple seeds as well. I want to say most if not all fruits that contain a "pit" of some sort are poisonous because they contain a form of cyanide after metabolization. The amount you need to consume can be on the high end of the spectrum though.

Well, yeah, when you eat pomegranates, what you're eating is the seeds. You don't eat the rind.
