From Organically Grown Apricots in Naramata. (In-Shell)

Apricot kernels are technically a seed that is found inside the pits of apricots. They look like small almonds and have a similar amaretto flavour.

They are used in culinary and medicinal applications across Europe and Asia, and are commonly used for respiratory conditions, digestive disorders and certain types of cancer. They are a good source of vitamin E, B17, zinc, calcium, magnesium,  iron and potassium.

*Health Canada suggests adults consume no more than 3 kernels a day and to mix them with other food. Children and pregnant women should avoid bitter apricot kernels.
