More a riddle than a puzzle:

You throw away the outside to eat the inside.
Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside.
What is it?

Alucard

is it some sort of fruit?
you throw out the outside because no one wants the skin and eat the inside
but then you eat the outside but you can't eat the inside because it is the core or pitt of the frut.

LuigiHann

Not a fruit. You'll have to be more specific. You're close, though.

Alucard

how about an animal like a chicken.
you throw out the outside (feathers)
eat the flesh
throw out the internal organs and bones.

LuigiHann

You know, that's close enough. It wasn't a very good riddle.
The answer I was looking for is corn. But yeah.

Alucard

That riddle is quite old but still fun to think about. Like many riddles there are a few answers that work.
