Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Apricot Kernel
Metabolic Effect: Apricot kernels provide energy with their high fat and protein content, while their fiber content provides a feeling of fullness. However, excessive consumption can be harmful due to the amygdalin substance it contains.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume apricot kernels, especially in salads or nut mixes. However, be careful not to exceed the daily consumption amount by more than 5-6 pieces.
Things to Consider: Apricot kernels contain amygdalin, which contains cyanide. Therefore, care should be taken especially regarding the consumption of children. Bitter kernels should not be consumed.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from apricot kernels, you need to walk briskly for about 1 hour. You can shorten this time with more intense activities.
