After eating peaches, the remaining peach kernels are treasures?
According to the Internet, the peach kernel we lost is a treasure, which can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, moisten intestines and relieve constipation…
Unfortunately, the truth is: peach kernels are poisonous and are not recommended.
Peach kernel is similar to bitter almond and is often used as a traditional Chinese medicine. It contains a highly toxic substance: amygdalin.
Generally, the content of amygdalin in peach kernels is about 1% ~ 3%, and some varieties with high content, about 100 ~ 200 g, can reach the lethal dose.
In other words, if you accidentally eat a peach kernel, don’t panic. But if you plan to save it as nuts… as long as you eat enough, you will also die.
You know, even as a medicinal material, peach kernel is strictly controlled.
