Bitter Apricot Kernel

Bitter Apricot Kernel – Bulk Supply for Oil, Extract & Nutraceutical Industries

Product Overview

Bitter Apricot Kernel (Prunus armeniaca), is a specialized seed primarily valued for its oil content and bioactive compounds. Rich in amygdalin (vitamin B17), essential fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants, bitter apricot kernels are not commonly consumed directly but are widely processed in the oil extraction, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries. Cold-pressed apricot kernel oil derived from bitter kernels is highly sought after for its anti-inflammatory, skin-nourishing, and therapeutic properties.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium bitter apricot kernels carefully selected from trusted orchards and processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in whole, broken, powdered, and oil-ready forms, our bitter apricot kernels are tailored for oil producers, extract manufacturers, and nutraceutical companies worldwide.
