Wellness Encyclopaedia | Apples

Apples are often eaten raw.
The whole fruit including the skin is suitable for human consumption except for the seeds, which may affect some consumers.
The core is often not eaten and is discarded.
Varieties bred for raw consumption are termed dessert or table apples.
Apples can be canned or juiced.
They are milled or pressed to produce apple juice, which may be drunk unfiltered (called apple cider in North America), or filtered.

The juice can be fermented to make cider (called hard cider in North America), ciderkin, and vinegar. Through distillation, various alcoholic beverages can be produced, such as applejack, Calvados, and apfelwein.

Apple seed oil and pectin may also be produced.
