Description

Ingredients: Apricots.

These organic apricots are more expensive due toff the missing sulfur. However, many believe it makes them more delicious.

About Our Bulk Organic Apricots

Apricots have been known to ancient Armenians for thousands of years. Alexander the Great introduced the fruit to the Ancient Greeks. Ancient cultures that cultivated the apricot include the ancient Persians, Romans, Greeks, and Armenians. The orange-colored fruit only made it to the New World in the 1600s BCE, when brought to the English colonies by settlers.

Today, the United States is a significant contributor to the world’s production of apricots. And they grow the bulk of them in California and some in Washington.

Uses

Dried apricots are famous for their:

• Wonderful texture
• The sweet yet tart flavor
• Moistness.

Our customers often enjoy them as a simple yet nutritious snack. Like they do in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Apricots are also an excellent addition to greek yogurt or whole oats. You can also chop them up and add them to your muffin batter.

Storage

You can store our bulk organic apricots in a relaxed, dark environment like your pantry or fridge for up to 12 months. If you properly seal and freeze them instead, they will stay fresh even longer.

Nutrients

Wholesale organic apricots contain significant levels of beta-carotene. Specifically, it is a nutrient found in most orange-colored fruits and vegetables that metabolizes into vitamin A in the body. Also, they are rich in niacin and vitamin B6.

If you are looking for bulk amounts of the more traditional orange, dried apricots, then we also sell them. You can find our bulk sulfured apricots here.
