So, what is apricot kernel?
Apricot kernel is the soft, nut-like seed found inside the hard pit of apricots. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, these kernels have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their various health benefits. Apricot kernels are often used as a substitute for almonds in recipes, adding a distinct nutty flavor and texture to baked goods and desserts. However, it's important to note that apricot kernels contain trace amounts of cyanide, so they should only be consumed in moderation and never in large quantities.
