HISTORY OF APRICOT KERNEL OIL 

For their sweet or tart flavour, Apricots have traditionally been consumed in their raw fruit form. They have found popular use in culinary applications, being used both fresh and dry in sweet and savory dishes and drinks, including dried fruits, compotes, marmalades, preserves, fruit jellies, juices, brandies, and liqueurs. Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil, also referred to simply as Apricot Oil, is a lightweight carrier oil pressed from the oil-rich kernels of Apricots.

The Prunus armeniaca botanical – the Apricot tree – is assumed to have received its name from Armenia, a country to which it is native and in which it has been cultivated since ancient times. The name means “Armenian plum.” In Armenia, the wood of Apricot trees is used to create carvings. The musical wind instrument known as the Duduk was also carved from the wood of Apricot trees, and thus came to be called the Apricot pipe. Some historical sources cite India as the place where Apricots were first cultivated before 3000 BC. Apricots were introduced to Rome by the Roman General Lucullus and to Greece by King Alexander the Great. Turkey is currently known to be the largest producer of Apricots.
