RE: Mango Harvest and Land Diversification

Very interesting thoughts you have going on and I hope you find some answers from the experiments. I was watching a food program today and there they use the kernels from inside the apricot stone. Apparently they taste better than almonds and I bet the canneries here throw them away. They also make apricot oil from them as well which is different and have not seen here.

Sort:  

I believe cyanide, the deadly poison, is derived from apricot pits. Was there any mention of it?

Thanks!

Yes but you need to consume bucket loads. Apples,cherries,peaches,pears, nectarine and plums also contain small traces of cyanide.

That explains why I am still alive after accidentally swallowing one once. I was mystified.

Thanks!
