Nutrients & Ingredients – Plant Potential
Bitter apricot kernels are rich in plant-based fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamin E, and essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. These nutrients contribute to overall vitality and a healthy diet. The antioxidants they contain support the body's natural cell protection against free radicals, thus helping to maintain healthy cell function.
Tradition & Origin – Hunza Pakistan
Apple seeds from the Hunza region have been used and valued by local communities for generations. The dry, high-altitude location and traditional, natural drying methods preserve the quality and natural character of the seeds. This particular bitter apple seed variety is offered in its natural state and is suitable for various applications, such as a cosmetic ingredient or component of traditional recipes.
Usage & Application
Bitter apricot kernels can be used to make homemade cosmetics , oils, or as a botanical ingredient in ritual and natural care recipes. Although rich in plant compounds, they contain amygdalin, so caution is advised when handling and potentially consuming them (see safety information below).
Safety notice – Amygdalin & Hydrocyanic acid
Bitter apricot kernels contain amygdalin, a natural compound that, when crushed, is converted into hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide can pose health risks if consumed in excess; experts advise limiting or completely avoiding direct consumption. These kernels are therefore often offered for cosmetic purposes or processing , not as a snack.
