Nutritionists often recommend eating rational quantities of fruit seeds as part of a healthy lifestyle. Bitter Apricot Kernels or Bitter Almonds have historically been popular choices.
The Food Standards Agency now advise that this product should not be consumed unless cyanide levels in the kernel are consistently below 20 mg/kg.
