I suppose this is the time to ask, do people not peel/skin apples? It's common in Southeast Asian cultures; it always feels barbaric/rustic to bite straight into an apple, much the same as biting into an orange or banana.
Basically, the wax is a non-issue if you skin them.
Maybe. You get that this isn't wax often from bees, or some natural source? I think it's a fine plastic spray, the same stuff plastic bags are made from.
> The materials used to wax produce depend to some extent on regulations in the country of production and/or export. Both natural waxes (carnauba,[12] shellac, beeswax or resin[4]) and petroleum-based waxes (usually proprietary formulae)[3] are used, and often more than one wax is combined to create the desired properties for the fruit or vegetable being treated. Wax may be applied in a volatile petroleum-based solvent but is now more commonly applied via a water-based emulsion.[5] Blended paraffin waxes applied as an oil or paste are often used on vegetables.[7]
