The Apricot
Apricot is a medium-sized deciduous tree that grows best in well-drained mountain slope soils. During the spring, it bears plenty of beautiful pinkish-white flowers that attract bees. The fruits have almost uniform size, 4-5 cm in diameter, and weigh about 35 g. In structure; the fruit is a drupe, consisting of a centrally located single pit surrounded by crunchy, aromatic edible flesh. The seed enclosed in a hard stony shell often called as "stone."
Fresh, ripe apricots have a sweet flavor similar to plums. Sundried organic apricots are nutritiously denser than fresh ones, although they have less in vitamin-C content. Its seed-kernel is also edible and taste like that of almond nut. Oil extracted from these kernels can be employed in cooking.
Sweet Apricot Kernels
Apricot kernels are known as the seeds found inside the stone of every apricot. When fresh they are white in colour and once dried have a light brown skin around the outside. They can be confused with a small almond, as they look quite similar, however they are slightly smaller than the common almond and a little flatter in appearance. Sweet kernels are safe to eat and carry no risk of toxicity.
These super crunchy kernels are packed full of protein and fibre. They are also another great plant source for those essential omega 3 fats which, when present at a high level, help to maintain normal cholesterol levels plus they contain Thiamin, which plays a role in the normal function of the heart. These kernels are also a rich source of “B17”, also called Laetrile.
They are also high in iron, which helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue, and Phosphorus and Calcium, which both contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. They also have high quantities of Zinc, which can support your vision. Apricot kernels are also, a great source of selenium.
