Organic Dried Apricots contain nutrients such as Vitamin A which promotes healthy vision. Because no preservatives are added i.e. sulphur dioxide (E220 or 220), the natural and organic sun dried apricot is light brown to brown in colour which is naturally the way it is supposed to be! They are naturally dried using traditional sun drying techniques as opposed to the commercialised process used in modern times. This results in a rich, sweet flavour with unbeatable juicy and plump texture.

Diced Apicots are of course perfect for cooking or baking. They are also great for adding to your favourite home made muesli recipe. 

 

 Apricots contain about 3 grams of fiber per serving, making them a good source of natural fiber. Apricots also contain a considerable amount of sugar in a small serving, especially if you are monitoring your carbohydrate intake. When eating, aim to stick to one serving, and if you are particularly hungry, consider opting for fresh, as opposed to dried. Fresh apricots take longer to eat and provided more volume than their dried counterpart. The glycemic index of apricots is about 31, which is low to moderate on a scale where pure glucose is 100. The glycemic load of a food takes into account both the glycemic index and the amount of food eaten. A glycemic load of 10 or less is considered to be low and should have little effect on blood glucose or insulin response. The glycemic load of one dried apricot is 1, 1 ounce of dried apricots is 9, while 1/2 cup is 20. Micronutrients in Apricots Apricots are a good source of vitamin A and vitamin C. Vitamin A is an important fat-soluble vitamin that has many roles, one of which is maintaining eye health. Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, aids in keeping your immunity boosted and is an important nutrient involved in wound healing. Dried apricots lose almost all of their vitamin C, and some other nutrients, in the drying process, but retain their vitamin A and potassium. Health Benefits Apricots contain phytonutrients, including antioxidants such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and beta-carotene. These may protect your cells from damage. Apricots contain soluble fiber that can help control blood cholesterol levels and insoluble fiber that contributes to digestive health.
