About Organic Apricots
Ripe and golden with a luscious flavour and velvety surface- or a more intense shade when dried- apricots are closely related to peaches, plums, and nectarines. Grown on deciduous trees, they're actually a drupe, with the seed central to the surrounding fruit and each having a fairly uniform size. They're sometimes overlooked as a fruit, perhaps because there are so many fruits to choose from in today's markets.
In fresh apricots, the highest level of vitamins is provided by vitamin A- 13% of the daily value in one fruit. This includes several beneficial carotenes, which release powerful antioxidants essential for maintaining your optimal vision, healthy skin and mucous membranes, and for protection against lung and mouth cancers.
Apricots also are a good source of vitamin C, known to ward off vision problems, promote healthy skin and mucous membranes, protect against lung and mouth cancers, and provide even more free radical-scavenging activity in your body.
