Dried Apricot

Dried apricots are sweet, tangy, and chewy treats made by dehydrating fresh apricots. Their vibrant orange color (sometimes darker depending on drying methods) and intense flavor make them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Rich in natural sugars, dried apricots offer a concentrated fruity taste with a slight tartness. They are often used in baking, trail mixes, salads, and Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cuisines, where their sweetness complements spices, meats, and grains.
