The apple, which darkens after cutting, does not harm health, you can eat it, said “Moscow 24” nutritionist Elena Solomatina.
Apples contain polyphenols: anthocyanins, quercetin, catechins. When we cut a fruit, it comes into contact with oxygen. The enzymes start to act and the apple turns black, ”explained Solomatina.
A nutritionist recommends pouring lemon juice over the fruit or sprinkling sugar on it to slow down the oxidation process of the apple.
However, it is inconvenient to use fruits that start to rot and turn black for this reason, the nutritionist warned.
“The visible rot is just the tip of the iceberg. Most likely, the fungus has allowed the threads to go deep and we don’t know how far it went,” he explains.
According to him, for a healthy person, eating a small amount of rotten apples is not a problem, but the immune system will still feel stressed. Depending on the type of mold, stress may occur on the liver or stomach walls. Also, the expert concluded that if you eat too many rotten apples, an allergic reaction or poisoning can occur.
