Information About Alfatoxin
The Importance of Laboratory Tested Apricot Kernels
Why should you purchase Our Apricot Kernels?
Apricot Kernels are very susceptible to moulds if not immediately dried to reduce the moisture levels that will inhibit mould growth.
One very dangerous mould that apricot kernels are susceptible to is aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is a fungus, a mycotoxin that is very toxic and carcinogenic to humans. It is known that chronic exposure will lead to a high chance of developing liver cancer. (ref: wikipedia)
Our apricot seeds and kernels are laboratory tested for aflatoxin, so you know you are purchasing a quality product.
