Crab apples are basically little apples, and they’re safe to eat as long as you discard the seeds and pit. 

Like bigger apples, they pack healthful nutrients — just on a smaller scale.

However, they may not always be palatable, which is why they’re not as commonly consumed as their larger counterparts.

Still, if you want to give them a try, you can eat them raw, tossed into salads or smoothies, or even made into a scrumptious jam.

Generally, bigger crab apples are the tastiest. As for the tinier ones — it may be best to leave those for the birds.
