Sounds gross, but the bacteria in apples are linked to better gut health.
, researchers analyzed the bacteria in apples and compared samples of organic and nonorganic types to see how the breakdown differed.
They discovered that apples contain 100 million bacteria. Sounds gross, and more than a little unhealthy, but before you freak out, these bacteria may play a role in vastly improving yourIn total, researchers found that a typical apple contains 100 million bacteria—1,755 different types. Here’s how the bacteria breaks down: the stem end has 9.5 million, peel has 1.6 million, fruit pulp has 19.7 million, seeds have 37.7 million, and the calyx end has 22 million.
“Consuming one whole apple, with core and seeds, includes an uptake of around 100 million bacteria. If you eat only peel and fruit pulp the number is reduced to the 10-fold,” said study author Birgit Wassermann, Ph.D., of Graz University of Technology in Austria . “And also the bacterial diversity you consume is reduced accordingly. So yes, eat the whole thing.”

It’s easier for some to budget when anybody can see how many goats they have, and everyone knows how many loaves of bread a goat’s worth.
