Apricots

By on August 30, 2017 in Fruit Pantry

Apricots are an early ripening fruit that we like to buy from a farm store. We also buy a box of seconds which are just as good with very little waste, but cost much less.

About Apricots:

The apricot is originally a native of eastern Asia, and is member of the Rose family.  From the color or these apricots and because they ripened early in the season, we believe that the apricots in this photo are a variety known as “Royal”, which were developed in France.  Apricots will ripen on the kitchen counter, and can be stored for about a week in the refrigerator.  Select apricots are free of blemishes.  When they ripen, they are slightly soft to the touch.  See the nutritional chart below.
