About Apricots, raw
These small, velvety-skinned fruits are a vibrant orange color and have a sweet-tart flavor that intensifies as they ripen. They are a good source of vitamins A and C, which support immune function and healthy skin, along with potassium for fluid balance and muscle function. Their natural sugars provide quick energy, while the modest fiber content aids digestion. They are also relatively low in calories and contain no fat, making them a light, nutrient-dense snack.
They can be enjoyed fresh on their own, sliced into salads, or blended into smoothies. They're also popular in baked goods like tarts and muffins, and can be cooked down into jams or chutneys. Dried versions are commonly used in trail mixes or as a chewy, portable snack, though the sugar and calorie content becomes more concentrated. Because of their delicate skin, they bruise easily, so they're best stored at room temperature until ripe and then refrigerated to extend freshness.
