Bitter Apricot Seeds

Description

Bitter Apricot Seed, harvested from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca, is a nutrient-dense traditional seed valued for its rich natural oils, vitamins, and bioactive compounds.

For centuries, it has been used in Eastern and Western herbal practices for skin nourishment, respiratory support, and general wellness. The seed’s natural compound, amygdalin (vitamin B17), has gained attention for its potential health-promoting properties when used responsibly.

With a distinct bitter-nutty flavor and smooth texture, Bitter Apricot Seeds are often used in small quantities in herbal blends, tinctures, and traditional wellness preparations.
