Although apricot seeds are often enjoyed as a sweet snack, bitter apricot seeds can contain a large amount of amygdalin, a compound that can raise cyanide levels when consumed in excess. If eating apricot seeds, be sure to opt for the sweet variety to avoid potential toxicity.
Additionally, while dried apricots are high in many beneficial nutrients, they’re also high in carbohydrates and calories, which can lead to weight gain and a spike in blood sugar. Keep your intake in moderation and go for fresh apricots whenever possible to avoid overdoing it.
Some people may also experience food allergy symptoms after eating apricots. If you suspect that you may have an allergy to apricots or have any adverse side effects after eating them, discontinue use and talk to your doctor. *
