Nutritional Benefits – DRIED APRICOTS
Dried apricots involve a drying process that evaporates the water content of the fruits without harming or reducing the nutritive value of the dried apricots. As a result, nutrients are not harmed and you yield even more benefits of dried apricots. These contain Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, Iron, and Vitamin C. One cup serving of dried apricots contains 158 micrograms of Vitamin A.
Apricots Fight Anemia
Dried apricots are a very good source of iron that is useful to fight Anemia. This also contains copper that absorbs iron. Including dried apricots in your daily diet helps in hemoglobin production that can be useful for women who experience heavy flow during periods.
Constipation
Dried apricots have pectin. They also contain cellulose that is a mild laxative and treats constipation. Cellulose acts as an insoluble fiber and pectin maintains water levels in the body during constipation.
Better Digestion
Dried apricots are consumed before a meal to stimulate digestion. This contains the alkali that neutralizes acids.
Apricots Reduce Fever
Dried apricots help to reduce fever. Prepare a liquid or you can dilute with some honey using water. This can also give you relief from thirst.
Apricots For Skin
Dried apricots juice can be used to treat itching due to sunburn, eczema and scabies. This also helps to clear acne and many other skin problems. Apricot scrub is often used to exfoliate the skin.
Clean digestive tract
Dried apricots help to treat the digestive tract by acting as a mild laxative to flush out the unwanted wastes. This is useful to react with the body’s digestive juices and produces more of an alkaline environment to clean the digestive tract.
Regulate heartbeat
Dried apricots provide a very good source of potassium. Potassium is a mineral and electrolyte which is useful to regulate proper fluid balance. This helps in proper muscle function and regulates the heartbeat.
Apricots For Good vision
Dried apricots contain nutrients like Vitamin A which is required for good vision. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that helps to remove free radicals and maintain the health of cells and tissues. Free radical damage can cause injury to the human eye lenses which can lead to cataracts or damage the eyes. Dried apricot intake reduces the risk of developing cataracts.
Hemoglobin
They can be used for production of hemoglobin that can treat Anemia. This is because dried apricots contain minerals like iron and copper which produces hemoglobin.
Relieve asthma
Dried apricots’ health benefits also include the ability to cure the symptoms of tuberculosis, asthma and bronchitis.
High blood pressure Control
Dried apricots contain three times more potassium than bananas and contain only a trace of salt that helps to keep down blood pressure. Potassium has water-retaining properties than sodium, which lowers blood volume pressure. Potassium in dried apricots also protects against heart disease.
Muscle building
They contain potassium which is necessary for bodily functions like improving metabolism and roles of the tissues, organs and other cells. Thus, it is important for muscle-building and normal body growth. It helps to regulate the levels of acid in the body and useful for protein synthesis.
Blood clotting
They contain Vitamin K that is required for blood clotting in case of injuries and to prevent excessive bleeding. Consume a cup of dried apricots daily to get 4 mcg of Vitamin K.

Delicious!! Absolutely delicious! I was searching for a sugar free and sulfur free fruit snack and these are amazing. I have developed food allergies later in life, and one of the bad guys is sulfur!! Thank you for making a safe alternative for so many of us.

Succulent Apricots I bought these for my son in the hope of expanding the number of fruits he eats as he is very picky and allergic to nuts, so most dried fruit he can't have due to cross contamination. He loved the apricots in particular in the variety we bought. The quality was the best I've ever had and hard to believe there is no added sugar! We are so very happy he ate them and that this was an excellent choice.
Nathan

As a vegan who doesn't like to cook, the apricots are a great snack food--no fuss, no mess, no cooking!
