Yeah, I think it's cyanic acid or some such...very
small amounts, though, and nothing to concern yourself
with.

Maybe one of the botanical wonders on this list could
answer this for me... Don't all red fruits and
vegetables contain trace amounts of cyanide, as well? 
It seems to me that i recall reading that long, long
ago.  Or not...
