Almost all stone fruits have poisonous pits. SOME varieties of apricot are an
exception to this, with edible pits, which I think are better than almonds
because they have a stronger flavor.
I believe attempts have been made to breed a peach with edible kernels, with
no success. If you stop posting here, we'll know that you've been eating
peach kernels in quantity.
I'd be interested in a discussion of which apricots have the tastiest fruit
and kernels. I'm sure this would make my local squirrels happy.

Subject: [nafex ibiblio list] Peach kernel - substitute for sweet almond
(making marzipan)?
Group:
Apricot kernel can be used as a substitute for bitter almond; in both cases,
cooking is, of course, required to render it safe for human consumption.
Can peach (or even apricot) kernel be used as a substitute in making marzipan
(typically, almond paste plus sugar-syrup), after the kernel is cooked?
Or is it that, both, peach and apricot can only be used as a substitute for
bitter almond, and not a substitute for sweet almond?
Thanks,
Steve; NJ
