Apricot Kernel

Apricot kernels are edible seeds extracted from the inner stone of the apricot fruit, categorized into bitter and sweet varieties. The sweet type is used in food processing, confectionery, and cosmetic oil production. It contains key nutrients such as Oleic Acid, Vitamin E, and trace Amigdalin in controlled levels. Packaged in vacuum-sealed or matte-finish moisture-proof pouches to prevent oxidation and preserve natural oils. Due to its mild flavor and high oil yield, Iranian apricot kernel is highly valued in European and East Asian markets as a natural alternative to almonds and for cold-pressed oil production.
