7$\begingroup$ Welcome to Puzzling! This particular puzzle is an old chestnut and a simple Google search gives the answer. We tend to prefer puzzles/riddles which require more than googling in this site. Hope you create a new and better puzzle soon. $\endgroup$– SidMar 30, 2018 at 12:39

$\begingroup$ I will keep that in mind @Sid. This was one riddle I remembered since long ago and I wanted to ask. $\endgroup$– user47438Mar 30, 2018 at 12:45

2$\begingroup$ @ShashankKuchibhotla I don't really know if it's the popular opinion but I think that for almost identical answers you should accept the first, since Phylyp answered before Riley and Pugmonkey, I think it should be his. $\endgroup$– SaeïdrylMar 30, 2018 at 13:46

2$\begingroup$ @ShashankKuchibhotla Pugmonkey's answer was posted at 12:34:27 while Phylyp's was at 12:33:00. You can see the timestamps by hovering over the 'answered x hours ago' text. The position in the list of answers is not only affected by the time it took to answer. I assume you checked the highest one, assuming it was the first answer. $\endgroup$– PL457Mar 30, 2018 at 14:23

It's
Corn
Because
You throw away the leaves covering the ear of corn, and then boil/cook the inside. You then eat the kernels but then throw away the center piece.
This is a chestnut, a riddle commonly asked in magazines and the internet.

I thought it might be
meringue
since
you throw out the eggshell and the yolk, only eating the egg white
-
$\begingroup$ Except you don't cook the yolk when you're making meringue. Nice try though! Welcome to puzzling... $\endgroup$ Mar 30, 2018 at 19:19

I bought a package of chocolate peanuts. I threw away the packaging, then sucked the chocolate off the peanuts and threw the peanuts away.

$\begingroup$ But you haven't cooked them. Otherwise you would have a pool of concentrated chocolate. $\endgroup$ Mar 31, 2018 at 16:28
