Apricot Seeds
In terms of appearance and taste, apricot seeds are very similar to almonds. The fruity note and special texture of the seed allows a particularly full mouthfeel with a pleasant and marzipan-like aftertaste. Due to the very high content of unsaturated fatty acids, proteins and minerals, the kernel can be regarded as of very high nutritional quality. Also the high vitamin E content (70mg/kg) is remarkable.
Sour and sweet cherry seeds for oil production
Due to its special composition of up to 3-fold unsaturated fatty acids, it is a unique raw material for oil production. The high levels of tocopherol promise a healing, antioxidant effect. Compared to apricot and plum kernels, the cherry kernel seed most closely resembles the taste of the fruit. The oils shine with their intense cherry/marzipan aroma in various dishes in gourmet cuisine or as a fragrant oil in the cosmetics industry.
Plum and prune seeds for oil production
Highly popular with their fruity-sweet taste and intense marzipan fragrance, the kernels are particularly recommended for sustainable indulgence and care oils. Thanks to their high-quality fatty acid profile, the oils obtained from them have a long shelf life, even when cold-pressed. Even in small quantities, they lend cosmetic products a unique, natural fragrance and are used in desserts in award-winning kitchens.
