Hunza valley apricot kernel is the seed found inside the apricot pit. It contains a chemical called amygdalin, which the body turns into cyanide. It can be toxic and ineffective for treating cancer²³. However, some web sources¹⁴⁵ claim that Hunza valley apricot kernel may have some benefits, such as:
- Providing vitamin K that is useful for blood clotting
- Hydrating and softening skin and reducing wrinkles
- Protecting eyesight and retina with vitamin A and lutein
- Offering a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds
However, there is not enough scientific evidence to support these claims. Also, apricot kernel may be dangerous when consumed in larger amounts due to the risk of cyanide poisoning. It should be used with caution and under medical supervision.
