[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]
Inside apricot pit, there is a brown nut that looks like an almond. Apricot pits are hard and it’s not so easy to crack them open. The taste of the apricot seeds is either sweet or bitter and it depends on a taste of the apricots that you ate. If apricots were sweet – seeds inside the apricot pits will be sweet, if apricots were sour, then seeds will be bitter. Both sweet and bitter seeds, found inside the apricot pits are similar to other nuts by their nutritional profile. They contain high levels of essential fatty acids, are rich in iron, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Sweet apricot kernels are being sold as snacks, used in baking, in production of liqueur „Amaretto” and in the cosmetics industry for expensive oils.

What is the best way to consume apricot kernels?
[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]
All nuts and seeds may be quite problematic and difficult to digest when not properly prepared. The same rule should be applied to apricot kernels. Soaking apricot almonds before consumption is very important, because you can miss out essential minerals and healthy fats. All seeds and raw nuts have phytic acid, it’s a form of bound phosphorous, which serves as a physiological preservative and antioxidant for plants. While phytic acid is helpful to safeguard the seeds till their germination, once eaten by humans it binds to minerals within the digestive system, causing irritation and contributing to the potential risk for nutrient deficiencies. Raw apricot pits like any other seed or nut also contain a significant amount of enzyme inhibitors, which prevent the apricot seeds from sprouting prematurely in nature. Enzyme inhibitors and the phytates that make seeds and nuts so tricky to digest can be neutralized by soaking them in salted water. This helps to break down compounds that are irritating and to preserve all beneficial proteins and fats.
