Apricots are small, golden-orange fruits known for their sweet and tangy flavor. Native to Central Asia, they spread to regions like the Mediterranean and are now enjoyed worldwide in fresh, dried, or cooked forms. Rich in vitamins A and C, apricots are particularly valued for their beta-carotene content, an antioxidant that supports skin health and vision. They also provide dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and potassium, essential for maintaining healthy blood pressure. Dried apricots offer concentrated nutrients, but they also contain more natural sugars, so portion control is advisable. Low in calories and fat, apricots fit well into various diets and cuisines, adorning Middle Eastern dishes, baked goods, and jams. While they're nutritious, mindful consumption is important, especially for dried varieties, due to the potential for added sugar.
