I would like to talk to you about the usefulness of such a thing as an apricot pit. As many people know, Asia can be called the birthplace of apricots. About two thousand years ago, the apricot spread throughout Asia, and later came to Armenia and from there to Greece, where it was called the “Armenian Apple”, but it gained its fame not only because of its nutritious and tasty fruits. The benefits of apricot kernel as a first-class source of minerals and vitamins have long been known among both doctors and the common people.
For the past couple of years, we can constantly hear scientists claim that metabolic disorders are the cause of most cancers. Most of the deviations in impaired metabolism occur due to an imbalance in the patient's body between minerals and vitamins. In this case, the benefits of apricot kernels are manifested. They contain a huge amount of vitamin B17, whichcontains a special cyanide substance that is fatal to most cancer cells, but when it enters a he althy cell, a simple formation of carbohydrate occurs, which does no harm to it. Doctors call this process natural chemotherapy. This vitamin is found in almost all wild berries: blueberries, strawberries, cranberries. The benefits of apricot kernels are truly invaluable. Therefore, eating them 100% helps in the fight against cancer and a large number of other diseases, including various malignant tumors.
It should be remembered that the benefits of apricot kernels are manifested only with reasonable use. You shouldn't overeat them. The optimal amount is two to four pieces per day. Otherwise, too much cyanide can build up, causing it to simply stop working. Everything is good in moderation - this rule is suitable for eating any vegetables, fruits or berries.

The benefits of apricot kernels are truly invaluable. There are specially bred apricots that contain a large pit with a large kernel. Such fruits are usually used in cooking, and their contents instead ofalmonds.
Not all apricot kernels taste bad. For a long time, special varieties of apricot trees have been bred, which have fruits with very tasty kernels. In addition, they are very nutritious and contain up to 70% sweet edible oil and up to 20% protein.
