Apple seeds are the small, hard seeds found within the core of an apple fruit. They are the reproductive part of the apple tree, containing the genetic material necessary for the growth of new apple trees. Apple seeds are typically surrounded by a protective coating and contain compounds that can affect their germination and growth. They are primarily used for planting and cultivation of apple trees in orchards and home gardens.
