Bitter Apricot Kernels & Bitter Almonds.

Updated 07 Jul, 2009

Nutritionists often recommend eating rational quantities of fruit seeds as part of a healthy lifestyle. Bitter Apricot Kernels or Bitter Almonds are popular choices.

The Food Standards Agency advise that consumption should not exceed 1-2 bitter apricot kernels per day. People on medication, or those with food allergies or intolerance, should take medical advice before taking. Apricot kernels can cause a temporary low blood pressure reaction.
