About bitter almonds
Bitter almonds are a type of almond that contains a significant amount of amygdalin, a compound that can break down into cyanide. As a result, consuming bitter almonds in high quantities can be toxic. They are often used to make almond extracts and flavorings, but they are not suitable for consumption in their raw form due to their cyanide content. It's important to differentiate bitter almonds from sweet almonds, which are the variety typically consumed as a snack or used in cooking.
