This listing is for the Premium Quality    Dried Apricots     Certified Kosher by Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America Suitable for Vegetarians Suitable for Vegans   About the product:       Buy Premium Quality Apricots only from Food to Live and SOLD by Food to Live. BEWARE of imitations – we believe in quality food. Our Apricots are healthy, delicious, and have a natural sweetness. These are beautiful, uniformly large fruits with the vibrant, golden color of sunshine and a taste that is impossible to resist. Apricots are completely devoid of fat, cholesterol, and saturated fat. Apricots are an important source of many essential nutrients, especially potassium, with high levels of calcium, iron, magnesium and Vitamin A as well. With significant amounts of fiber, beta-carotene, and antioxidants, apricots help to rid our body of toxins, support new cell growth, maintain a good immune system, good skin, and eyes. When the fruit has reached its peak of flavor, it is gently removed from the trees and laid in the sun to dry. Note that these dried apricots are pre-treated with sulfur dioxide in order to maintain their bright color and conserve the moisture within. As a result, you’ll find every bite to be exceptionally tender, moist and chewy—full of true apricot flavor, with no bitterness or tart aftertaste.     Product description:   Sun-Dried Apricots: A Glimpse of History Apricots are fantastic fruit trees and our ancestors discovered their value millennia ago. Archeological evidence shows that humans have been enjoying these delicious treats for over 7000 years. Dried Apricots from Food To Live allow you to continue this tradition and get the numerous health benefits the fruits have to offer. It’s impossible to determine where exactly apricots originated from because these species are too widespread. The majority of botanists believe that their homeland is Armenia. At least, it’s a widely accepted fact that the name ‘apricot’ is derived from the variations of this country’s name. The Many Uses of Apricot Fruit Ripe, raw apricots are extremely delicious and a joy to eat for everyone. However, this plant has a variety of other uses. Apricot seeds, in particular, contain laetrile. Apricots oil is widely used in cosmetics and can be added to a variety of homemade beauty treatments. It doesn’t have many culinary uses, but mostly because there are many other plant-oil alternatives Apricots are loved all over the world, but in the Eastern they are almost revered. There is even a saying in Turkey that roughly translates as ‘there is no better than this’ where ‘this’ is ‘apricot’. Unfortunately, the season of these fantastic fruits ends very fast and they don’t really keep well, unlike apples or pears. However, you can enjoy Food To Live Dried Apricots anytime.           Dried Apricots: Benefits Sun-dried apricots from Food To Live offer a great number of health benefits to people who eat them regularly. Not only are they fantastically delicious but also rich in all kinds of important elements. In the terms of appearance, apricot fruit is the source of retinol, one of the main elements used in the cosmetics industry. You should definitely try some apricot jam, paste, or cake. However, you shouldn’t forget that sugar isn’t good for the body, so it’s best to choose recipes that don’t contain much of it. There are plenty of those for apricots as these fruits are naturally sweet. In fact, you can make an amazing dried apricot paste by combining them with some figs and warm water in a blender. Dried Apricots Calories One cup of dried apricots contains about 313 calories, but it also gives you almost 10 grams of dietary fiber and 4.4 grams of protein. Dried Apricots: Nutrition Profile Breakdown Nutritional value of dried apricots is extremely high, which is the reason why this fruit is so amazing. A single cup of these sweet treats contains 94% of the required daily dose of vitamin A. Dried Apricots: Iron The thing that makes sun-dried apricots truly fantastic is their high content of non-heme iron. It must be noted that dried fruits have a higher level of it than their fresh counterparts. Therefore, they can be considered more beneficial in this particular matter. Dried apricots definitely make one of the best choices for this as the iron in them is easy for the body to absorb, so you actually get to benefit from it. Note that naturally, iron is processed easier when consumed with vitamin C. As dried apricots contain vitamin C by default, the iron from them can be absorbed very well regardless of whether you add some other foods to your meal. Magnesium and calcium Dried apricots contain two invaluable minerals. They are magnesium and calcium. Note that potassium, another valuable mineral that dried apricots contain in large quantities, affects the way our bodies process calcium. This mineral is extremely difficult to absorb, so even eating calcium-rich foods might not give you a sufficient amount of it. Potassium helps the body absorb as well as dispose of calcium in the most efficient manner.           Enjoying Sun-Dried Apricots The abundance of dried apricots recipes provides that everyone can learn to love them. In fact, you don’t even have to follow a specialized recipe as simply adding this ingredient to many traditional dishes would work. For example, try including them into a veggie stew, spiced rice, or cereal. At Food To Live, we enjoy these dried fruits in many ways, and this is one of the favorites:       ·         1 eggplant (diced) ·         1 sweet potato (diced) ·         2 zucchini (halved and sliced into half-moons) ·         4 cloves garlic ·         1 red pepper (diced) ·         1 onion (sliced) ·         1 can chopped tomatoes (14 oz) ·         14 oz chickpeas (cooked) ·         3 ½ oz dried apricots ·         1 tablespoon harissa paste ·         1 teaspoon cumin (ground) ·         1 teaspoon coriander (ground) ·         3 tablespoons olive oil ·         2 tablespoons honey ·         A handful of fresh coriander leaves (chopped) ·         Salt and pepper to taste   Instructions:     1.     Put eggplant, sweet potato, zucchini, and pepper into a bowl.

Dried Apricots: Buy in Bulk or Make Your Own? It’s possible to dry apricots on your own. To do this, you’ll need lots of fresh and ripe apricots and a lot of time. The fruits must be washed, pitted, and halved before you begin. Then you just put the halves onto suitable sheets and use a dehydrator or an oven to dry them. Note that it would take no let than 12 hours to dry a bunch of apricots, so it’s a highly energy consuming process. You can save yourself all this trouble by buying Food To Live Dried Apricots in bulk. Store them in a cool place (fridge is best) and in an airtight container so they can keep for months.       Allergy Info:  Packaged in a facility that also processes tree nuts and grains.     Storage Info:  Refrigeration recommended.       Country of Origin:  Turkey        WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
