DRIED APRICOT

Description

​

Lightly sweet but not candy-like - dried apricots are packed with potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin A that are vital for cell growth & immune system function. This chewy, tangy fruit is also rich in antioxidants to help neutralise free radicals that damage our cells thus preventing age-related diseases. Fat-free, low in calories, and high in flavor – they make a great addition to breakfast cereals for a nutritional boost or you can even enjoy it as an appetizer and snack in-between meals!

​

Fun fact: Although dried apricot originates from the dehydration process of its actual fresh fruit, it contains the same nutritional value that our body can benefit from.
