I mix them with Planters Variety nuts. I mix 5 kernals in with a baggie full of the salty greasy nuts. I eat 1 apricot kernal nut for every 10 lbs. of body weight a day. I eat 15 nuts a day. You can carry the small baggies of nuts around for a yummy snack without the bitter taste. I've been thinking about ordering brazil nuts. They are loaded with selenium, which is a very healthy nut to add to you diet.

We eat six to ten daily,we eat them whole (like nuts) some can be a bit bitter, but that just assures us that the particular properties that we want are there.

I eat them about 8 at a time with a meal; I combine usually with regular almonds to help the taste.

I chew them as nuts or u can use a coffee grinder to make a small grind to put in anything u r making.

Eating them is best, but I see no problem with grinding them. I eat several every day (5-10). It's best to eat apricot flesh with the seeds, it gives the best benefit.

Both previous answers are good, it just depends on your choice. Personally, I just eat them and wash down with water or juice. After the first initial "bitter" taste, you eventually get used to the taste and can eat them like candy---just limit yourself to what the package recommends for a serving. Enjoy better health! B.

No more than 5 kernels per day as stated on the bag and I do not mind the bitter taste so I eat 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening. Grind them with some fruit or other food to soften the taste if you have a problem with the bitterness. I'm no expert just another customer doing what works for me.

Having purchased the 2 pound package of whole kernals from Amazon.com, I grind two seed pits at a time into a powder and eat with a spoon, 5 times a day, about every 3 hrs. The pits can be eaten directly with out grinding. They can be used almost any way you wish. Added to cereal or steamed vegetables.

I stuff pitted dates with apricot kernels. Dates provide energy and fiber. The natural sweetness of the date masks the bitterness and the aftertaste of the apricot kernel. Even my wife will eat kernels this way, and she could not stomach them in any other fashion--not even in a fruit/yoghurt smoothie blended in our Osterizer.

the best is to grind them so they digest better then put them in a bowl and put water over them and drink up. I haven't noticed any problems from doing this and as said, they digest better and you get more nutrients this way.

Sure! I would use peanut oil to fry them in, we used to do it all the time! Enjoy

Maybe use unsalted butter. Most of us like the salty taste and that is why we make them. Good luck.

Do not shake. Put popper on stove, pour oil in bottom about 1/8", put 4 kernels in, turn on heat medium for gas or medium high for electric, put lid on; wait until 4 kernels are heard to pop, remove lid, pour in more kernels, return lid to popper, let popping get going, wait until popping seems to be slowing, then remove from heat & eat.

You can eat them whole, but they will be very crunchy and sudden spice, they are much fresher than the powder kind of petter. Better to buy a grinder, or smash or crush with the side of a knife (they will go everywhere, put in baggie). Lightly crushed on a steak is great!!

I'm sure you could but it's kind of dry. I've used them in kombucha to flavor it. But not exactly sure if I'd grab a handful to munch on.

I have no idea what. I keep the seeds in the frig.....grind when I need, eat when I need. Have been doing this with nuts and seeds for years. Freeze if you are not comfortable.

But why am I reading you have to crush them? I want to avoid the taste and looking for something that can just be swallowed whole but everything im reading says to crush themm fìrst

The kernals once popped are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of your typical popcorn. However, it tastes amazing and buttery...without adding butter! Now that I've had this popcorn, I can't go back. The typical popcorn at store tastes like cardboard and dense to me!

I grind them up first, then add to all the goodies in the blender. But, since you brought it up and I get tired of pre-grinding, I'm going to try not grinding first to see how that turns out.

Hi, Melitta recommends a Fine grind. As fine as you can grind it, I have found.Cheer,Phil

Are you trying to create 'almond milk'? These are not soluble granules; they are a fine powder (meal) of almonds. I can't see how you could drink it.

You have to cover the kernels with oil. You may want to read the ratings on this before buying.

We keep ours in a salt shaker, but add it to the butter/oil. It spreads evenly as the kernels pop.

1/4c oil + 1/2c corn, at first pop add 1/4c sugar, pop and dump, salt and serve. It's that simple!

You can do this yourself by choosing your type of salt crystals, and put in it a mortal and pestle or a grinder (I use a Cuisinart coffee grinder) and pulse it until it is ground into as fine of a grain or a powder as you like. This salt just takes much effort out of it. Most people (myself included) do not like to have noticeable granules of salt on their popcorn or roasted nuts which using normal table salt produces. This salt does have tricalcium phosphate in it.
