Botanical Name: Prunus Armeniaca
Country of Origin: Turkey
Production: These unsulfured apricots are harvested when fully ripe, then pitted and traditionally dried in the sun, a process that usually takes between 3 and 4 days.
It is disputed whether apricots originated in China or Armenia before Persian traders discovered the fruit and introduced it as a trading asset throughout the silk road. Cultivated in many Middle Eastern countries, they were especially coveted in the Russian, Ottoman, and Persian empires, and were introduced to the Americas by Spanish conquistadors. Turkey is today’s leading producer of dried apricots.
Qualities: Dried apricots are a good source of antioxidants (immune system support) vitamin A (promoting healthy vision) and iron (beneficial for anemia). Their high fiber content (both fresh and dried) in conjunction with fat-soluble retinol (vitamin A) helps with the absorption of nutrients while cleansing the intestines and feeding our microbiome. Apricots may also assist in reducing cholesterol and balance electrolytes due to their high potassium content.
Common Use: Perfect for trail and nut mixes or alone as a snack.

Always included in my orders as these apricots are sweet, soft and delicious. Occasionally will come across one that is a bit gritty which only tells me that they have been dried in the traditional methods. You won't be disappointed if you love apricots.

These are really good. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never tried unsulfered dried apricots, but these are amazing. I will be purchasing again.
