- John from www.okraw.com/ shares with you how eating THIS PART of the apricot can potentially kill you and how and why he does it for health benefits.
In this episode, you'll learn about the incredible health benefits hidden within the apricot, a fruit that often goes underappreciated. John reveals that the apricot is a superfood, packed with essential nutrients and phytonutrients, and shares his personal experiences of picking and eating fresh apricots, which far surpass the quality and flavor of store-bought ones. He emphasizes the importance of consuming ripe apricots directly from the tree or a U-pick farm to truly enjoy their full nutritional value and taste.
You'll also discover a surprising secret about apricot pits, which most people discard. John explains that these pits contain valuable nutrients, including protein, vitamins, and amygdalin, which have potential health benefits such as anti-cancer properties. He demonstrates how to properly dry and crack open apricot pits to access the edible kernel inside, comparing its appearance and taste to almonds. John encourages you to incorporate these kernels into your diet but also warns about the potential toxicity if consumed in large quantities.
Finally, the episode delves into the scientific research supporting the health benefits of apricot kernels. You'll learn about their bioactive compounds and their roles in fighting diseases, improving cerebral function, and supporting overall health. John provides practical advice on how to safely consume apricot kernels, considering factors like body weight and sensitivity. By the end of the episode, you'll be equipped with valuable knowledge on maximizing the health benefits of apricots and their often-overlooked kernels.

You're awesome!!!
They sell apricot seeds at some Asian markets. Bitter almonds are good, I think any stone fruit pit is about the same too isn't it? The hunza eat lots of apricot seeds.
You look better John recently :)
The best thing you can do for the planet is plant more fruit trees, so keep your seeds and spread far and wide, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
Lol I've been eating those since my dad got diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago. I started eating them so he wouldn't have to do it alone. I'm still alive and I've eaten tons of them. I'm so tired of people acting like they're so dangerous when you have stuff like acetaminophen that can destroy someone's liver with a sing recommended dose, and they give it to babies. 🙃
Not putting down apricots but here in the Philippines a ripe mango is unbelievable ❤
Thanks for the info! ❤
I was at a friend's yesterday who has apricot trees and told me about the seeds. I tried one and it's different but I liked it. She told me the same thing, cancer fighting and B17. Never heard of B 17 before! What a coincidence. 😊
Yeah.. and there are probably 1000 studies that say they will kill you.. lol... go figure!
Synchronicity 🎶
🤔Seriously, ur not w/ child & if ur not a dad & don't have a new gf 💃 - why are u all glowy? ✨️ If u look this good after apricots & that's all u've done differently - I'm getting truckloads of dem puppies! 🐶🐶 🚐 🐶🐶
Like others have noted, u look especially better, John! We wish u 🙏 ❤️ the best in all things & are grateful for making us healthier! 🌱
nice video thanks
I’m open to trying them! I found a company that sells the dried apricot kernels. This is the second source this month that has pointed out the benefits of these kernels. So I’m taking that as a sign to dig into this info a bit more. Mahalo John🌺😎🙏
too bad apricots on the East Coast are like $6 a lb and still not always ripe and tasty... sigh...
🤩 Ur eyes are all sparkly & ur glowing! ✨️ If u were a girl ... wait! 👶🎉 Did u just learn ur a Dad this Father's Day??? 🌅 ❤Whatever ur doing - keep it up! 🤗
Hunza people of Pakistan eat the seeds and all for hundreds of not thousands of years… no one ever died from them there, in fact they live long healthy lives.
I add about 10 pcs to our juicing for 4 days,do you think juicing (nama2) will have any less effect than eating them ?
Hunza ppl in Pakistan mountain area use Kernel oil, use as almond substitute for 100’s of yrs.
They are vitamin B17! Apricot seeds help to prevent cancer!
do you have to let them dry???? or can i just eat them fresh?
Thanks John! I’ve eaten 1/day. ❤
Many years ago I lived in Vancouver and people had apricot, pear and other fruit trees in their yards with no fences and they were delicious, as most fruit were 50 - 60 years ago.
Now living in Sydney Australia you can't eat any stone fruit because they're all either rock hard or totally tasteless. Same with mangoes, pineapples, cantaloupes and other melons. Abundant but hard as rock and unripe. Terrible what has happened to fruit and almost all commercially grown fruit and vegies. Almost impossible to get organic, or it's 3 times the price but the fruit is still unripe.
The best stone fruits are when you or your neighbour or friend have your own tree.i don't even bother buying them at the store anymore it's such a put off they have the taste & texture of soap.
I have eaten about 2 or 3 and it was fine 😊 🌹 good for you ❤
This guy talks way too much I'll sum it up for you just go RAW!!
John works his apricots off trying to help folks like us live longer! Watch a little, live a little. Watch a lot, live... 🖖 May You Live Long & Prosper! 😂
Nothing like fresh peaches, fresh pears, fresh apricots, fresh plums right off. The vine has a totally complete different taste to the pallet and all that high vibrational energy that you get to consume and photons yummy! Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!❤
Someone trying to get shadowbanned by Google 😂
They are disgusting, but I’m not having Ill effects. I ingested 40 yesterday, 10 at once and 30 over the course of the day. I normally eat 20 per day.
Are you serious?
@@mo2k2 yes
They're nasty
some people like the bitter taste.
Plus you’re not really eating them for taste, they’re mostly eaten for medicinal reasons.
@@Blueskies1180 Yeah and you can learn to like something when you know it's really good for you.
I actually like them! Remember, almos everything that tastes bad is good for health and opposite, what tastes delicious especially fried food is really bad.
John, you are seriously reverse aging! Keep going! ✨
