Summary: I'm trying to find out how to plant and grow an apricot seed, after I eat the fruit, and get to that hard little nutlike center...1/13: I've noticed that avocados are a popular item among jetpakers.
1/12: I'm never going to throw an apricot seed away ... ever! Thanks for this!
awesome pics! Now I know my apricot tree needs some serious help.
Apricots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, (vitamin A), also providing vitamin C, iron, potassium and fibre among other things.

Do you know why we have such a hard shell to protect our seed? It"s because it"s poisonous and we don"t want to make you sick. We don"t like to talk about it, it"s embarrassing. Now let"s change the subject.
