Rich in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, zinc, copper, mangnese, iron, amino acid, vitamin B1, vitamin B17, but also in carotenoids, tocopherols and natural antioxidants.

The bitterness of the kernels is caused by amygdalin, also called laetrile or vitamin B17. And it is amygdalin that gives the bitter apricot almond its properties long touted in traditional medicine, especially Chinese medicine. The latter uses the bitter apricot kernel for its virtues on the lungs, kidneys, intestines, cholesterol, weight gain ... but also its antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Be careful, amygdalin is cyanogenic. Our bodies use the rhodanesi present in our mitochondria to neutralize it, it is however important to be vigilant when it comes to the quantity of bitter almonds of apricot kernels consumed. ANSES recommends not to exceed three apricot kernels per day.
