In fact, Southern and Northern apricot kernels are two different ingredients, so the commonly heard term "Southern and Northern Apricot Kernels" includes both Southern apricot kernels and Northern apricot kernels. They are both the seeds of the apricot tree, which is also known as almonds. Although they are both white or yellow in color, their effects are different.
Characteristics and Effects of Southern Apricot Kernels
Southern apricot kernels are slightly larger in size, fuller, and have a slightly sweet taste. They are mainly used to moisten the lungs, stop coughing, and stimulate the production of body fluids and appetite. They are suitable for people with cough or dry mouth, and can moisten the lungs.
Characteristics and Effects of Northern Apricot Kernels
Northern apricot kernels are relatively smaller than Southern apricot kernels and are flatter in shape, with a slightly bitter taste. They help with bowel movements and are suitable for people with constipation. It should be noted that Northern apricot kernels are toxic and should not be eaten raw. They must be thoroughly cooked to reduce their toxicity.
Both are best used for making soups and sweet soups, such as Southern and Northern apricot kernel stewed pear, Southern and Northern apricot kernel corn and carrot soup, which help to moisturize and clear the lungs, as well as moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements. Our Detox Soup (Dried Cordyceps Flower Soup Packet), Heat Relieve Soup (Sichuan Fritillary Bulb Sea Coconut Soup Packet), Skin Nourish Soup (Dried Sea Whelk Blaze Mushroom Soup Packet) also contain Southern and Northern apricot kernels. Everyone is welcome to try them out.
