Cyanide: The Hidden Poison in Almonds, Apples and Bamboo
Update: 2025-09-20
Description
This episode explores natural sources of cyanide in common plants — how cyanogenic glycosides hide cyanide in seeds and tissues, how breaking cells releases toxic hydrogen cyanide, and why the smell of almonds can be a warning sign.
Examples include bitter almonds, apple and stone fruit seeds, cassava, lima beans, sorghum and bamboo shoots. The episode covers safety measures (cooking, leaching, drying, fermentation such as gari) and specific hydroponics cautions like pruning cherry laurel and growing cassava.
