Beautifully bright and filled with nutrients, the apricot is an amazing fruit that makes us long for summer. Apricots are small, golden orange fruits with a soft, velvet-like skin and a juicy, sweet and smooth flesh. Brimming with vitamin C and beta-carotene, apricots provide an amazing health and beauty boost.
Apricots have an inherently endless number of antioxidants and are a leader in protection against free radical damage. These powerful fruits may be small on the outside, but they are packed with flavonoids and various polyphenols that have been linked to the reduction of heart disease. But apricots don’t stop there! They can even protect your eyesight with the levels of lutein each fruit contains.
Aside from all their health benefits, apricots’ beautiful summery flavor perfectly complements a wide array of culinary masterpieces. The sweet and fresh flavor profile pairs well with full flavors, such as almond, ginger, hazelnut and more.
