What is bitter apricot Kernels?

Raw bitter apricot seeds contain a natural toxin called cyanogenic glycoside which is commonly present in the seeds of fruits. When the consumer chews the fresh seeds or stone of a fruit, the cyanogenic glycoside in it can be transformed into hydrogen cyanide, which is poisonous to the consumer.
If you do decide to eat them, you should not eat more than 0.37g per adult per day, which is the equivalent of 1-2 small kernels. Eating more than this amount could cause an acute health risk. Children should not eat apricot kernels.
