Himalayan Bitter Apricot Kernels – Prunus armeniaca – Trading Std & MHRA Compliant

Himalayan Bitter Apricot Kernels  –  Herbasense Apricot Kernels do comply with the MHRA or Trading Standard’s norms.

INCI: Prunus armeniaca

Origin: Kashmir  (India)  – (Humza Region)

Apricot kernels can be eaten raw (they are bitter, though), either broken or powdered and sprinkled over the salads.

My personal suggestion – put these kernels into the jar of honey along with single-seed Himalayan Garlic. The honey is left over for at least 14 days, and you can eat two cloves of each (kernels & garlic) in the morning & 2 in the evening.

This honey not only removes the bitterness but also makes the kernels & garlic eatable.

This in fact becomes a medicated honey.

Since our apricot kernels are from the Himalayas and are more bitter in taste when compared to the bitter apricot kernels from other parts of the world. This Himalayan range is the same as of the Humza Region.

The “FDA” (Food & Drug Association UK & USA) has suggested not to intake more than 1 or 2 in any 24 hours as safe consumption. Although again depending on the body weight. 4 to 6 can be consumed in 24 hours (two to be taken 3 times a day)
