Organic Dried Apricots

Dried apricots are apricots that have had most of their water content removed. This is typically done by sun-drying or using dehydrators. The drying process concentrates the fruit's natural sugars and flavors.

Dried apricots are often used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in food products. They add a chewy texture and fruity taste to snacks, baked goods, and trail mixes. Manufacturers also use them in cereals, granola bars, and fruit leathers.

Dried apricots are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers dried fruits, including apricots, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dried fruits and their components. While generally considered healthy in moderation, their concentrated sugar content should be considered as part of a balanced diet.
