    Bitter almonds must be processed to detoxify before eating. Nevertheless, some countries still illegally sell bitter almonds. New Zealand is among them. In addition, you can also use almonds in the apricot kernels, which are similar in taste and toxicity. Heating can remove the toxicity of almonds. In fact, you may not know that it is illegal to sell raw almonds in the United States. Therefore, the almonds you buy now are heated to remove toxicity and bacteria.
