Lemberona Handels Organic Fairtrade apricot kernels
Lemberona Handels Organic Fairtrade apricot kernels are characterized by a very fruity, but at the same time nutty character. They are very popular as an alternative to almonds and can of course be eaten raw. They are similar to almonds in appearance, color, shape and texture, but are crunchier and more flavorful because they have been surrounded by a fruit. Only very sweet apricots are used for the sweet apricot kernels, as this guarantees that the amygdalin content is low and the kernels can be eaten without hesitation. Apricot kernels are a good source of minerals and vitamins. Apricot kernels, especially pre-sprouted ones, are a good source of minerals and vitamins, especially B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus and iron. They are therefore ideally suited for a balanced, healthy diet.

After careful harvesting, the apricots are washed, halved and stoned. The shell of the kernel is cracked open and the actual apricot kernel is gently dried with the help of the sun. The drying process used is a very environmentally friendly solar drying method that is extremely gentle on the product.
- Origin
We source our organic apricot kernels exclusively from Uzbekistan. Only from there can we be sure that the quality meets our high standards.. The apricots ripen on trees around Samarkand. The area is largely organic and Fairtrade certified. The approximately 1000 farmers who farm the area belong to one of three major Fairtrade groups, Dustkul Bogi, Turkiston Gulba or Turob Bobo . Thanks to the cooperation with Fairtrade, the farmers can offer their families a secure income and their children a new perspective.
- Purity
Arriving in Austria, the apricot kernels are pressure treated and laser cleaned. When it comes to printing, the interaction of pressure and time ensures absolute freedom from pests. During the subsequent multiple cleaning in the laser cleaning system, the apricot kernels are checked individually to rule out any foreign material.
