Product Description:
Apricot kernels are simply the edible seeds of apricots. Nutty flavored with a hint of amaretto, they are a close relative of the almond. Apricot kernels are the one of the highest natural sources of a rate substance called amygdalin, also known as vitamin B17, an important nutrient which has largely disappeared from Western diets. A cholesterol-free food, apricot kernels are also loaded with healthy plant fats, protein and iron.
The Sunfood Difference
Our, raw, certified organic apricot kernels originate from wild apricot trees that have never come into contact with any sort of pesticide, herbicide or synthetic fertilizer. The apricots are harvested gently by hand, then the kernels are removed and slowly sun-dried. Our farmers pride themselves on cultivation the highest quality kernels possible while maintaining eco-friendly and sustainable agricultural practices.
Warnings:
Caution: Packaged in a facility that also processes peanuts and tree nuts. Apricot kernels have relaxing effects and may lower blood pressure, thus it is recommended to only consume 5 per hour, and no more than 10 a day.
