Description
These dry apricots (also known as jardalu or khurmani/khumani) have been dried whole, with the seed intact. The seeds can be discarded after eating the fruit. Apricots, like many other dried fruit, are packed with antioxidants. These beneficial compounds protect the body against oxidative stress and, by doing so, lower the risk of developing conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Dried apricots can also improve skin health and lower the risk of developing skin cancer.
