Yes and no. The seed is technically edible although may contain high levels of hydrocyanic acid. Detection of this is largely by taste (bitter tasting seed). The seed should have the consistency of a squishy almond and a light pleasant taste. Some reports suggest that the seed may be high in B17 and aid in the treatment of cancer.
