Apricot Kernels

Faria Wholefoods Apricot Kernels are 100% kernels from inside the stone of the apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca). They look like almonds and range from mild to distinctly bitter in flavour.

Ingredients

• 100% Apricot Kernels (Prunus armeniaca)

How to Use

• Use only according to the serving and safety instructions provided with the product.
• Do not consume large quantities of raw apricot kernels.
• Bitter kernels should not be treated like ordinary nuts, as their amygdalin and potential cyanide content can be much higher.
• Do not use as a home treatment for any medical condition.

Apricot Kernels and Wellness

• Naturally contain fat, largely unsaturated, and plant-based protein.
• Contain naturally occurring plant compounds.

Please Note

• Apricot kernels naturally contain amygdalin, which can release hydrogen cyanide when chewed, crushed or digested. The amount varies widely between kernels, so safety cannot be judged by counting them.
• Cyanide poisoning can cause headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, confusion and difficulty breathing, and can be life-threatening.
• Not a cancer treatment. Amygdalin and laetrile have not been shown to treat or cure cancer, and “Vitamin B17” is not a recognised vitamin.
• Children should not consume raw apricot kernels. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice.
