Apricots are delicious and nutritious fruits with a unique flavor profile. Scientifically known as Prunus armeniaca, apricots belong to the Rosaceae family and are closely related to peaches, plums, and cherries. Native to Central and East Asia, apricots have been cultivated for thousands of years and are now grown in various regions around the world.
Beyond their delicious taste, apricots offer several health benefits. The high levels of vitamin A in apricots are beneficial for vision health, and the fiber content aids in digestion.
They can be eaten fresh, dried, or used in both sweet and savory dishes. Fresh apricots are delicious on their own, sliced into salads, or incorporated into desserts such as tarts, jams, and cobblers. Dried apricots are popular snacks and are commonly used in baking and cooking.
