Why is it good?
Dried apricots are rightfully called the queen of dried fruits. They are incredibly rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene in them has antioxidant properties, which play a significant role in slowing down the aging process, preventing heart diseases, and cancer. Thanks to its high potassium content, it helps moderate high blood pressure - if it is related to salt sensitivity - as potassium counterbalances the blood pressure-raising effect of sodium.
In addition to its potassium, calcium, and phosphorus content, its sulfur content is noteworthy, making it effective in preventing cancer, detoxifying the body, and beneficial for the skin, hair growth, and nail condition.
Not only for its physiological effects and intense, aromatic taste, but also for its attractive, vibrant color, dried apricots are popularly used in pastries and other desserts.
