Apricot seeds, also known as kernels, are nutty-tasting seeds found within the pit of the apricot fruit. Common in Middle Eastern and Asian cuisines, they are sometimes used in desserts, oils, and traditional remedies. Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like iron and magnesium, apricot seeds also contain amygdalin, which some believe contributes to immune support. However, caution is essential, as amygdalin can produce cyanide when metabolized in the body, making excessive consumption dangerous. While small amounts are generally considered safe, consulting a health professional is advised. Apricot seeds remain a notable example of balancing potential health benefits with mindful use.
