APRICOT KERNELS
Apricot kernels are a stone fruit. Once discovered as a substitute for almonds, they are now indispensable.
We use apricot kernels to make persipan. Persipan is characterized by a stronger taste and forms an excellent contrast to sweet components. The best example is dominoes. From our point of view, persipan is more than just a substitute for marzipan.
+ Growing region
The main cultivation area for bitter apricot kernels is China. There are also other growing countries such as Turkey, Syria and Uzbekistan. Sweet apricot kernels, on the other hand, mainly come from Turkey.
China, Turkey, Syria, Uzbekistan, Greece, South Africa
Apricot kernels are also known for their use in Chinese medicine and their supposed healing effect on cancer. At this point, we have to admit that we have no idea about medicine! When using bitter apricot kernels, we carefully debitter them before processing them into persipan. There is therefore no health risk when eating dominoes.
