Prunus armeniaca

Big flat apricot, a specialty of Liaoning Province, is the general name of excellent sweet almond apricot such as "Longwangpu" and "swarming bees". It is named big flat apricot because of its large and flat kernel, and it is the best apricot for kernel use. It is cultivated in many mountainous areas in Liaoning Province. The round almond of Prunus armeniaca is flat and fat, and it is rich in nutrition. It contains a lot of fat, protein, sugar, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, iron and other substances needed by the human body. It can be eaten raw, and can also be made into almond cream, almond dew and other foods and drinks with unique flavors. The oil yield of almond is 50%, which is not only an excellent edible oil, but also a high-grade lubricating oil and rust coating agent for precision instruments and military industry, and can also be used as a raw material for producing cosmetics and high-grade paints. Apricot is fragrant in plum but not as sour as plum, and its kernel is separated from meat, so its kernel can be used as medicine. A nutritional tonic made of almond has Liao effects of moistening lung, expelling wind, dispelling cold and clearing diarrhea. Apricot is of good quality and can be used for both kernel and meat. Its pulp can be made into dried apricots, preserved apricots, apricot jam and canned apricots, and also used for making wine or vinegar. Eating dried apricots often can prevent cancer.
