can you put an apple and the core in there, will it pulverize the seeds

I have read that the cyanide that is released from the Amygdalin in apple seeds breaks down into a form that is not effectively absorbed by human cells, but is effective against cancer cells. Many who believe it is harmful to humans have suggested a limit equal to seeds in 15-20 apples/day.

Absolutely. We blend up seeded grapes, pears with seeds -- not a trace of the seeds are left.

absolutely. I always put apples in whole and I have never spit out any seeds.

My wife and I make smoothies every day of the week in this machine which generally include frozen fruits (seeds, leaves, cores) kale with stems, whole walnuts, lemons with seeds . . . there is nothing this machine hasn't dealt with quickly and efficiently. I compared wattage and rotation speed with the Vit-A-Mix which is a fine machine . . . at twice the price. Couldn't recommend this machine more highly!

Apple seeds are reported to contain cyanide, so best to remove before putting in blender.

I never tried... I always cut them up. Other than kale and spinach this machine works well. I suppose if the while apple fit into the opening and you do not mind the core being in your pulp it would be sting enough to push it through. Vague I realize, but I hope it helps.

Yes, I did a ton of apples, actually that is what I bought it for. Works great, just cut them up some.Good luck.

Yes you should take the stones out of fruit. You should also core apples as seeds have trace amounts or arsenic in them.

As someone said, this juicer handles seeds without problem. So, if you're wondering whether you can juice fruit without removing seeds, you definitely can (watermelon, apples, oranges, lemons, etc). But, if you want to get the essence of the seed (like grape seed oil), this juicer can't do it. In fact, the instruction manual says you can make nut butters (peanut, almond, etc), I tried and all I made was a huge mess, and I wasted a lot of money in nuts.

Yes. You can remove the piece that slices and cores. Then you would only peel the apple. You cannot core without slicing too.

I would say no. Works with firm fruit like apple and pear. But whew pear gets really ripe fruit falls off spindle. Forget tomatoes potatoes yes

You have to quarter your apples and boil them till little soft then run them through. Very little waste. Will spit out seeds and skins. I sometimes run waste through a second time .

I am not a 100 % sure but I don't think so. You would have the seeds and pulp in your juice.

I honestly do not see how any blender could pulverize the small seeds you find inside of strawberries or other berries. No blenders on the market have sharp blades, as the blades would dull too quickly. Breaking down very small seeds would require a grinder type action. Now as for larger seeds such as those found in watermelon, this blender does break them down. The benefit of the Waring over the Vitamix will be the carafe, it is well designed and does not need the pusher that comes with the Vitamix.

I haven't tried this. I believe a coffee grinder would be best for these things. I have only done frozen bananas, nuts, and carrots which it pulverizes, so I assume that it can.

I've had mine for 2 months, and have cored maybe 50 apples or pears in that time. No problems at all. I make sure to give it a twist to start the coring, then continue twisting clockwise-then-counterclockwise as I push through the core. If you don't twist, it's 3 or 4 times harder to just brute-force push it straight through an apple. Twisting makes it super easy to core.

The plastic top comes off, so yes you could easily put fruit slices in there. You could maybe drop a whole apple in.

No-- just put the packet into the apple. The directions said that after 3 months you should replace the packet with a new one and you can dispose of the pellets in the packet into the dirt of a houseplant.

You can make applesauce with these, or you can just cook down the ingredients and either puree them in a blender or leave it chunky. An old fashioned hand potato masher also does a nice job of make a less chunky version. A food mill can allow you to process the apples with skin on (quarter the apples and de-seed), then cook down and either jar or freeze. It kind of depends on how much and what style you want to make.

I've never considered using it for that; I think I'd rather mash them with a fork or put them into a blender. A food mill is more suited to squeezing pulp and juices out of fruits and vegetables (such as cooked apples or tomatoes) while retaining the peel and seeds.

If you are referring to whether the seeds of fruits and vegetables can be run through the juicer along with the pulp; then yes, the seeds will go through without any problem. However it cannot handle woody pits, such as peach pits. If you are referring to whether this machine will process seeds for making seed butter; I don't know I never tried it. However, I do know there are several machines on the market designed specifically for making seed and nut butters. Hope this helps!
