Do You Eat Fruit That Has Partially Turned Bad?

A sparkling apple with shiny red skin does not necessarily mean that the inner part is just as good. Well, the outer flesh can still look enticingly white and juicy but you can only tell that the apple is 100% good after you cut it into half to expose its core.

I was very much disappointed when the seemingly red, sweet and juicy apple that I bought turned out to have a ‘rotten heart’. As it was an expensive apple, I felt it was such a waste to throw the entire apple away. Before binning the apple, I nibbled away the outer flesh which still tasted very sweet and crunchy. But as I was chewing on the half rotten apple, I was overcome with worry. I had once read from an article that said that if a part of a fruit has turned bad, the entire fruit should be discarded. What if my frugality by eating half rotting food leads me to some kind of major ailments over time?

Do you throw the entire fruit away if only part of it has turned bad?

Do not judge the apple by its skin! And do not judge a person from his/her looks as it is really deceiving!

    Oh yeah, would eat ard the bad part. Same with cheese, cut off the mouldy bits and eat the rest. However, one time I bit into a perfect looking apple, chewed and swallowed, then looked back down onto the rest of the fruit to see the half body of a worm…

    Chris, EEWWW!! I once scooped out some passion fruit to eat , then realized that it tasted a bit funny. I took a closer look and saw many worms inching around the slimy seeds and flesh of the passion fruit!!
