Here’s a curveball: some pigs can eat olive pits without issue. But peach, plum, apricot, and cherry pits? All cyanide bombs waiting to happen. Cherry pits are especially nasty because they’re smaller and easier to crush. So if your pig finds a cherry, you might as well hand him a tiny hourglass.
Can Guinea Pigs Eat Peaches? (Benefits, Risks, Serving Size & More
Want to confuse your pig? Give him a coconut. That’s a pit he can’t crack, and the meat is safe. Or better yet, give him the peach flesh—the juicy part. Pigs go bonkers for peaches, and it’s full of vitamins. Just slice it off, because pigs are lazy and won’t bother to peel a peach.
You could also roast peach pits. The heat neutralizes the cyanide compounds, but why risk it? Your pig doesn’t have a secret life as a gourmet chef. Save the pits for making a weird homemade liqueur for your next awkward dinner party.
