Benefits and Safety Tips for Enjoying Organic Sweet Apricot Kernels
Organic Sweet Apricot Kernels are gaining massive popularity among healthy-eating enthusiasts. And that is for a good reason since these seeds are packed with nutrients. Organic Sweet Apricot Seeds are somewhat similar to almonds in look and taste. They are comparable to almonds because the kernels are located within the hard apricot pit like almonds are within a hard fruit. For this reason, apricot seeds can also be classed as nuts.
Are Organic Sweet Apricot Kernels Safe to Eat?
Eating Organic Raw Sweet Apricot Kernels should be safe if you follow two straightforward rules. First, you must choose sweet apricot seeds over bitter ones. Apricot kernels, same as bitter almonds, contain an element referred to as vitamin B17. The more of it the seeds hold, the more bitter they are. This element can be toxic in large amounts.
However, Organic Sweet Apricot Seeds contain only traces of it; that’s precisely why they don’t taste bitter. Thus, they are as safe as sweet almonds.
Still, eating no more than a few raw kernels a day is recommended. You should also know that cooked Organic Sweet Apricot Kernels are perfectly safe. This means that you can use them in hot recipes like baked goods; not only will you add a large serving of essential minerals to your meal, but you will also fill it with notes of a unique flavor.
Best Ways to Enjoy Organic Sweet Apricot Seeds
You can use Organic Sweet Apricot Kernels like you would almonds in any recipe, from cookies to stews. However, to achieve even a higher nutritional value in your recipes, mixing these sweet seeds with other nuts will be best.
Note that apricot seeds are used in the traditional amaretto recipe. They are what gives the liquor its special bitter note. That’s why some dishes you cook with these seeds might taste similar.
You can also eat Organic Raw Sweet Apricot Kernels as a snack. But once again, limiting yourself to a few seeds a day is best.
