Dried whole Turkish apricots are one of Australia’s most loved fruits, due to their delicious fresh tastes and addictive nature. Apricots not only taste great, but also retain a lot of nutrients from the whole fruit itself. Enriched in vitamin A, potassium and magnesium, which are two minerals that give the body endurance, energy and stamina. In fact, people with potassium deficiencies see their blood counts leap up after adding dried apricots, dates, peaches, figs, prunes and raisins to their diets! Dried apricots can easily be enjoyed on their own and are perfect for snacking on at work for an energy-boosting snack. They are great for kids lunchboxes and when combined into delicious trail mix combination. Try them in your morning muesli or granola or even on top of yoghurt for a delicious sweet taste. They are fantastic when used in baked goods such as breads, cakes, tarts, puddings, muffins, fruit and nut bars and even used to make home-style jams. Dried apricots are a delicious fruit that is loved by all, and there is no going past these bad boys!
