Apricot Kernel Powder

Apricot Kernels are removed from their shells, blanched to remove their peels, and then dried and ground into a whitish powder. Sold in Chinese markets.

Apricot Kernel Paste

The powder can be made into "Apricot Kernel Paste", which is like Almond Paste. In making the paste, sugar and starches such as potato starch and cornstarch are usually added. Some Chinese believe that the powder can act as a cough suppressant. In the West, Apricot Kernels are not generally recommended for internal consumption.
