Nature’s Superfoods’ Organic Dried Apricots are organically grown – meaning that our apricots are usually a dull orange-brown color, and not the bright orange color associated with non-organic dried apricots that have been treated with sulfites (a preservative). The tangy-sweet flavor and chewy texture of apricots, plus their nutritious benefits, make them an excellent guilt-free snack.

APRICOTS: Apricots have numerous health benefits due to good amounts of vitamins such as vitamin A, C, K, E and niacin. In addition, they are also rich in dietary fiber and minerals like potassium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus. In addition, apricots also contain phytochemicals called carotenoids. The powerful antioxidant - lycopene (which is good for eyes) - is one of the carotenoids found in apricots.

*Please note that our organic dried mulberries, apricots and figs are free from pesticides and preservatives like sulphite. Hence, the shelf life will not be as long as those non-organic versions that have been treated with sulphite. The typical shelf life of organic, sulphite-free dried fruits like mulberries, figs and apricots ranges from 6 -12 months from the harvest/production time in countries of origin, under dry, cool storage conditions. Factoring in the shipment and production time from harvest to retail, it is very normal to encounter shorter shelf life than that, as harvests happen only once a year, and not the whole year round. Please rest assured that you are getting a high-quality food product without worrying about harmful substances.
