Bitter Apple Seeds (Tukhm-e-Hanzal)

Bitter Apple Seeds, also known as Tukhm-e-Hanzal, are the seeds of the bitter apple fruit found in regions of South Asia and the Middle East. These small, hard seeds are known for their distinct bitter flavor and have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and herbal remedies. They are valued for their natural detoxifying properties, helping to cleanse the body and promote digestive health by improving bowel movements and relieving constipation. Bitter Apple Seeds also possess antimicrobial properties, supporting immune function and fighting off infections. In addition to their medicinal uses, they are also used in skincare, where they are believed to help improve skin health by combating acne and other skin irritations. While they are often ground into a powder for consumption, they can also be used in small amounts in culinary applications for their unique taste and health benefits. However, due to their intense bitterness, they should be consumed in moderation, and it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider before using them, particularly for medicinal purposes.
