Dried Apricot

Dried apricots are apricot fruits that have been dried naturally or through dehydration processes. They are a popular snack and ingredient in cooking due to their sweet flavor and chewy texture. Dried apricots are rich in fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin A and C), and minerals such as potassium and iron. They can be eaten on their own as a healthy snack, added to baked goods like muffins and cakes, incorporated into salads, or used in savory dishes like tagines. They are known for their concentrated sweetness compared to fresh apricots and have a longer shelf life, making them convenient for storage and use in various recipes.
