Dried apricots are chewy, naturally sweet treats made by dehydrating fresh apricots, a process that concentrates their flavor and nutrients. Originating from regions like Central Asia and the Middle East, they are commonly used in traditional dishes and snacks worldwide. Packed with essential nutrients, dried apricots are an excellent source of dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins like A and E, which support digestion, heart health, and immune function. Their rich antioxidant content helps combat oxidative stress. While they provide quick energy from natural sugars, dried apricots should be consumed in moderation due to their high sugar concentration compared to fresh apricots. They're free from fat and cholesterol, making them a popular choice for healthy snacking, though some brands may add preservatives or sulfites to enhance color and shelf life. Always check labels and opt for organic or unsulfured varieties for the purest option.
