Has anyone eaten a nectarine seed center? Looks like an Almond.?

Question

I just ate a nectarine fruit, when I got to the center where the rough jagged seed which was kind of split in half. So I open its seed. I was surprised to see an Almond shape nut/pulp in there, I was wondering if anyone has tried eating this & how does it taste like.

Answer 1

Seeds from peaches, nectarines, plums and apples contain naturally

occurring cyanide and are dangerous to eat( unless heated) which removes the toxins.

So they are toxic and can make you seriously ill if you eat to many.

The peach, apricot and plum "kernels" taste like almonds but are referred to as "bitter almonds".

Don't eat them.

Answer 2

Yes, there is an almond-like thing in the center of peach/nectarine seeds. I have eaten them. They vaguely taste of almonds but are usually bitter. Not worth eating.
