Eating Fruit Skins

What happened

This summer, I learned that one can eat a whole apple. Every part of the apple is edible 1 . Before learning this, I would just eat the flesh and throw away the core. The core seemed hard and jagged and inedible. Turns out, you can eat the whole thing. I suppose I’ve always known that deer eat the whole apple. Why shouldn’t people eat the whole apple too 2 ?
