What Is Sweet Apricot Kernels? & The Supply Process
Sweet Apricot Kernel is a premium dried nut obtained by cracking the hard outer shells of sweet-kernel apricot varieties such as Malatya's Hasanbey, Hacıhaliloğlu, and Kabaaşı in special machines; in flavor and texture it directly resembles almond.
It stands out for its nutritional content and its healthy unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acid). The sweet kernels are sorted at contracted facilities using electronic color-sorting systems.
As a dried nut it is consumed both raw and roasted/salted, and it is also supplied wholesale in the confectionery industry as almond's strongest and most cost-effective alternative in marzipan, amaretti-style cookies, chocolate dragées, and premium baked goods.
