Sweet vs. Bitter Apricot Kernels: Our apricot kernels are of the sweet variety. “Sweet" apricot kernels contain almost invisible amounts of amygdalin, the same amount as any almond on the USA market. “Bitter" apricot kernels contain high amounts of amygdalin and are harmful: Ziba Foods does NOT sell these. Apricot kernels and almonds are from the same botanical family called drupes. Afghanistan is one of the only places in the world with a large amount of genetically “sweet” apricot kernels.
Natural Superfood: Our Organic Dry Roasted Sweet Apricot Kernels are a natural source of protein, calcium, fiber, and Omega-3 fats.
A Superior Kernel: Unlike bitter varieties of apricot kernels, Ziba Foods sweet apricot kernels come from Bamyan and contain only trace levels of Amygdalin, making them a safer superfood!
Great For Snacking: A great healthy snack for adults and for kids, bake into granola or use as a topping for breakfast dishes, salads or desserts.
Women’s Empowerment: Since its inception, Ziba has maintained a constant focus on supporting and improving the role of women in Afghan society. Ziba’s workforce in both management and staff positions is 80% female.
