Apricots or Prunus Armeniaca are the slightly fuzzy and deeply orange fruit, in the group which also has plums as a member. Laetrile is talked of as a possible cancer cure and is extracted from the seed shown above. These seeds are edible but a word of caution, they do have a trace of cyanide so should be consumed with caution and moderation. The Italian liqeur Amaretto is flavoured with the extract from these kernels despite it tasting like almonds. Apricots also contain anti-oxidants and in Chinese medicine the apricot is regarded as being beneficial in regenerating body fluids, detoxifying the system and quenching thirst.
Their colour may be fundamental in aiding balance in the Sacral chakra which has orange as its sacred colour.
