Date: May 09, 2009 05:38PM This supermarket near me sells bags of organic fuji apples for cheap. Problem is some of the apples are bruised. I usually perform surgery, but is it really a big deal? Re: Do you eat bruised apples?

Date: May 09, 2009 06:37PM I think the bruised bits taste foul so no I don't eat them. But on bananas my partner happily eats the blackish bits but I can't stand the texture. Eat what feels or tastes ok to you I guess  Re: Do you eat bruised apples?

Date: May 09, 2009 09:05PM I do, especially if I'm juicing them. I guess its the cider effect, as long as there's no mold or fungus, a bit of brown won't kill me...I think, lol. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/09/2009 09:06PM by OkunDeji. Re: Do you eat bruised apples?

Date: May 10, 2009 11:25AM When a fruit gets bruised, it's like our bodies getting bruised. Or so I learned in biology class. That is, if I remember correctly.
Oxidation turns the flesh of the fruit brown or black, and turns our skin either brown or purple. I don't know why the difference in colors. Oxidation is not a good thing. When metals oxidize, they rust. Honestly, I may have my facts all mixed up about all this. I mean, why is it that oxygen is harmful? But this is my recollection, as flawed as it may all be. Troy.

Date: May 10, 2009 03:55PM By law fruit juice manufacturers are allowed to put up to 10% rotten and bruised fruit into their juice as long as its pasteurized so it must be OK ?
I feel more comfortable trimming it out as part of my quality control because I don't eat/drink any pasteurized foods. Re: Do you eat bruised apples?

I juice them just fine. May be better not to, but I spend so much time juicing as it is (juice feast). Re: Do you eat bruised apples?

Date: May 14, 2009 05:09AM I wouldn't if I had the option of unbruised, but if I was broke I'd buy them and cut off the bruised bits. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
