DNA is a complex molecule, and even by itself, it does have an outsize influence on our lives...

And we consume a bunch of them with every meal

We are drying elderberry blooms for the tea and some we use to make fermented drink (not alcohol). With berries we made sometimes wine.

Have you tried elderflower syrup drink? One of my favorite summer refreshments.

I make an apple cake with diced apples, and trust me, it's MUCH better with peel than without, and it holds together much better, it doesn't fall apart.

If the apple falls apart when cooked, then you are using the wrong apple variety. Different apple varieties are suitable for different cakes and tarts.

In Europe, many professional pastry cooks and Baker use Boskoop.

Apple pies and cakes are one of my favorite sweet baked goods, especially apple Strudel, Vienna style, with hot vanilla sauce. The sauce is important. Best consumed in winter.
