Naturally-dried, Organic Apricot kernels have not been steamed or cooked and, thus, retain their full compliment of natural nutrients including Vitamin B17. Because of their unusual flavor, many of our customers consider them to be a spice.  It is recommended that the kernels be ground in a blender, placed into a grated-cheese shaker, and then sprinkled lightly over main-course foods. When used in this fashion, they take on an almond-like flavor that, to most people, is quite pleasing.  They really add to the flavor of almost everything. Many customers also like to chew a few kernels, whole or chopped, along with something sweet, like a trail mix, cereals, desserts.  Sprinkle them into raw breads, crackers, soups, salads.

Note: For moderate use. Take no more kernels than half the number you likely would eat if you also were consuming the entire fruit.

Keep your Apricot kernels refrigerated, once opened, and they will keep about one year.  We recommend storing them in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them fresh.

A long time part of the culture of the Hunzas in the Himalayas, the Apricot Kernal was/is one of the most prized of all possessions. It is said that a measure of wealth is the number of apricot trees a Hunza family owned.  A sprinkling of Ground apricot kernels were consumed at virtually every meal.
