No, it is an ornamental item, we use in the house for bug deterrent. Also known as horse apple and hedge balls here.
I have been reading and there are a great deal of people that will differ with you on that comment.
Many believe it is a cure for cancer.
In addition, they are safe for humans to eat.
Hedge apples have been found to actually cure cancer. They make the body alkaline and cancer cant live in an alkaline body. Google hedge apples and cancer. They are not poisonous. Freeze them solid and grate the frozen hedge apple for two tablespoons a day.
The seeds are edible.
Yes they are ok to eat! People with cancer have been eating them and their cancer slowly disappears, it has been said they are posionous because livestock eat them and suffocate on them when it gets lodged in their throat....
A friend told me that her cousin has cancer and he freezes hedge balls. Everyday he scoops out a teaspoon full and eats it.
She said he looks great and is getting stronger. He recently moved back to his home and is taking care
Has anyone heard about this?
Healthy cells cant live in an alkaline body either. That's why your body fights so hard to keep it at homeostasis. Wow.
Did you know that cancers are the result of cellular mutation? That they aren't living things, in the traditional sense? They are instead little parts of us that have formed improperly, and when those mutations spread during the growth of new cells they can become an especially big problem. I'm pretty sure cells can mutate regardless of the acidity of the human body. Cells can mutate for various reasons, even from abnormal heat alone.
I was watching a show on YouTube with The Bushwackers survival and he was eating hedge apples cooked over a campfire and he would calling them dinosaur fruit
can they be good for cooking?
For the last time, no food you eat will make your body alkaline. The acid in your stomach makes sure of that. If you injected something into your blood (and no I'm not recommending that) maybe, but nothing you eat or drink will ever, under any circumstances, make your body be in any state other than what it is designed to be in.
If you soak them in water, the seeds will fall of easily. The seeds are the only part of the fruit that is edible. They taste like raw sunflower seeds and can also be roasted
I respectfully disagree. I freeze them scrape a little off ( about a table spoon ) each day. I'm certainly not making any medical claims. Been fighting various cancers most of my adult life. Since consuming hedge apples, no cancers have cropped up. 8 yrs! Proof is in the pudding, for me anyway.
Do you scrape the outside to eat or the inside I have heard of people useing hedge apples to fight cancer before and they've always said the inside if you could email me back I would appreciate it
This not true,you eat the whole thing. They have a variety of uses for the body, they are not poison. If a cow or horse has died eating them it's because the hedgeapples got stuck in the throat.
You can freeze them shave some off daily and eat the whole thing or dry them for a capsule I freeze them in newspaper
Can you pull off the outer peels and saute them a couple at a time with chopped garlic!!? Just found out they ate edible and good for cancers and am guessing the immune system.
When you say about a tablespoon is that cut in half and just Cooper spoon out or is it just the seeds?
I have hedge apples available here in Tennessee just wondering if it's okay to eat them after they have fallen from the tree or do you need to pick them from the tree. Thanks
I have just been told I have a vasular mass on my kidney. A couple mths ago I heard about this. I'm more about homepathic healing and need to know. Where to start. Hedge apples are still on the ground from fall. I had heard dehydrated. I didn't know what parts. Sounds like I can add seeds to my smoothies... Thinking adding grapeseed oil. Cut out all sugars..bad fats...
I might go for the injection of my own plasma injected there to if I can find someone to do it.
Please advise. The client is in Mexican article doesn't follow through to take me to the contact information
I don't want advertisement. Real people ....
When I was a kid my Mom would slice them nto narrow pieces and bake the in the oven to dry them out.. I remember the smell was horrible !! But when they were dried they were really interesting. She sprayed them with a clear coat and used the in decorating and woodsy theme crafts.
The hedge apple is edible I ate them for my colon cancer two tbl spoons a day shaved...cancer free now from advance st 3 colon cancer
Yes, people have been drying them and making pills and tinctures to help fight colds and boost immune system. Some people freeze them and grate off a tablespoon and mix it with honey and take it when they feel like a cold is coming on and then put what's left wrapped up in the freezer. Amazing stuff. Some even say it helps with fighting Cancer
How do you fix them i heard that they were good for fighting cancer what part do you eat the outside or the inside?
I agree with Grandma, we call them Hedge Apples or Osage Orange. The idea that they help to keep bugs away from your home is a misnomer though. Google it, you will find it is not true.
I use them whole every year. About 20 to 25 of them under the furniture and sink, in the closets. They do work, and they don't rot if you don't cut them. They just shrivel up. I got them last week and put them out. Never had gnats or any problem. Just use them whole.
I have never had any success with them being a pest deterent in ks.
Where can I find them and Kansas somewhere I know but what's the town
I am deathly afraid of spiders and I can't wait until they are in season and I can buy some at the farmer's market. I put them on a paper plate and set them all around the basement. After that, I do not have a bug problem. I recommend this to all our friends and they use the hedge apples too!
We have a lot of hedge balls near Manhattan, Kansas. I'm sure we would be happy to share.

What are hedge apples good for and how to use them
Have been reading about the horse apple is suppose to be good for Cancer ! I am not a professional but it might be worth looking in to if it's true ! And we always were told growing up that they were poisonous ! God put them here for a reason !!
Yes hedge apples are safe to eat you can freeze them or dry them
Hedge apples are edible. they are not poisonous. My wife and I have been taking 2 tbsp. twice a day for about 2 months now. They do not make you sick. My wife has found that her "hot flashes" almost disappear since we have been on the hedge apple regimen. We weren't sure if it was the hedge apple helping her or not, so we stopped taking it, and within a day or 2 the hot flashes were back with a vengeance! When she started the hedge apple again, they slowed way way down.....On a different note....I have read that they are a cure for colon and other types of cancer.....my mom died of colon cancer, and I had been having problems...polyps, etc....I went in for a colonoscopy about a month after starting the hedge apple regimen, and the results came back perfect....no polyps...no problems what so ever....these are just our results, and I know that there will be "nay-sayers" out there to say we are crazy and that there is no official medical explaination or benefit to taking hedge apple....but as for my wife and I...we have seen the benefits first hand.
We simply bring the fruit home, wash it really well in warm water, then freeze them whole (un cut) in zip-lock bags. every morning and every evening we used a cheese grater to grate enough of the frozen hedge apple for 2 tbsp. apiece. we just take each spoon full and chase it with water....it actually doesn't taste bad at all....it doesn't really have much of a taste...not good or bad...
I hope this helps
Here is a link that has information on Osage orange, which is a more official name for hedge or horse apples. They state that only the seeds are edible.
