Description
These orange dried Turkish apricots (also known as jardalu or khurmani/khumani) are a healthy snack for people who suffer from diabetes since apricots have a low glycemic index, which can help your body regulate blood sugar levels. Adding dried apricots to your regular diet can also lower the risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and skin cancer since they contain high levels of antioxidants that work towards lowering the oxidative stresses on the body.
