Description
Apricots are flavourful fruits that provide the body with a variety of health benefits. When dried, they retain both their flavour and the multitude of health benefits while also gaining a long shelf life. These dried apricots are high in dietary fiber, which improves gut health and can even help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Their high potassium content also contributes towards maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and lowers the risk of strokes.
