Apricot Kernels -- a new almond?

Apricot Kernels are ... FINE!

Chewing a small handful of apricot kernels with mulberries can taste like sweet almond butter, there is almond extract flavor, and can even seem more 'almondy' than almonds.

-- protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins (such as B1, B6, and B17 which is called Laetrile/Amygdalin, etc.) minerals and other trace elements --

a simple Fig (Anjeer) Cake recipe:
* coconut butter or cream in place of ghee?
* and how about a little anise, ginger, lucuma, asafoetida etc?

Also remind yourself that apricot kernels are slightly "controversial" and also remember apricot kernels are unpasteurized (GOOD!) and delicious for you. (Shazzie)

Pasteurized, which many California almonds are, is fancy word for irradiation.
