apple nutrition (less vitamin C and dietary fiber) is more near to its skin than other parts. you will get less nutrition if you remove the peels/skin of your apple before juicing.

is it safe to juice whole apples including the seeds
yes, it’s safe to juice the whole apple with seeds.
apple seed contains cyanide, which is a poisonous chemical for humans. but to kill someone, you need lots of crushed seeds to ingest.
which is unlikely, as adults will need to ingest crushed 150 to thousand apple seeds depending on the apple variety you are using for the juicing.
regular apple has only 8 seeds.
