It is the seed inside the pit they grind up or people eat whole. If make that into powder, It is what used to sell on grocery shelves as vitamin B17. If one were to make a concentrate of that powder, it makes a,substance we now know as amygdalin, which was touted in the late 90's as a cancer cure under the brand name Laetril. After it made headlines, it disappeared. At the same time vitamin B17 was removed from shelves.
A little side note I bought a bag of apricot seeds back in the 2000's and found them little on the bitter side. I kept taking it but only sporadically. I put them in the freezer. My mother came to visit, and found them digging in the freezer while I was at work. When I came home she had poured some in a bowl, and put the bowl on the kitchen table. I asked what that was about, she explained that when she was young, her parents kept a bowl of apricot seeds on the table, and anybody who wanted a snack between meals was encouraged to eat a handful . I asked if she knew why her parents did that. She replied, it was kind of like an apple a day thing, it was supposed to be good for you.
My point is this, we have gotten so far away from the knowledge that was common to our forefathers, that we are having to learn it all over the hard way.
American psychic Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. recommended eating a few raw almonds daily, believing it could help prevent cancer. His readings frequently cited almonds as providing essential nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, and iron, and specifically linked them to protection against tumor formation.

It is important to note:
Source of the Claim: The assertion comes from the holistic health readings of Edgar Cayce, a psychic and "sleeping prophet," not from conventional scientific or medical studies.
Scientific Consensus: While nuts are a healthy food, the general medical community states that a combination of factors, including a diet rich in a variety of vegetables and fiber, contribute to cancer risk reduction, and no single food is a guaranteed preventative. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has shared studies showing reduced cancer recurrence in patients who ate nuts, but the claim that a few almonds a day "keeps cancer away" is specific to Cayce's non-scientific practice.
Edit: nevermind, turns out that bags can be found all over the place now.
Where can they be had from?
Edible apricot kernels.
The apricot seeds I’ve seen don’t strike me as remotely edible…
