Creative Nature's Apricot Kernels are a nourishing, natural and raw snack that boast an unusual flavor, but tons of dietary benefits.
Unlike many snack food products on the market, these ones boast a flavor that's branded as "Extremely Bitter!" and Creative Nature owner Julianne backs this up by saying: "We source the most bitter kernels we can find, only from the Himalayas, because they have the highest levels of laetrile and therefore the greater antioxidant levels." These snacks are low in salt, while also being high in dietary fiber, yet free from gluten, dairy, GMO ingredients, soy and lactose.
With the rise of the superfood movement across the world, many consumers are looking for unusual sources of nourishment from sources like these and watermelon seeds, as well as other parts of fruits that are typically discarded.
