Apricots are small orange stone fruits with velvety skin and sweet-tart flesh, rich in beta-carotene. Dried apricots concentrate this carotenoid along with fibre, potassium and iron into a chewy, energy-dense form.

Preparation note
Stewing rehydrated dried apricots softens the fibre and makes nutrients easier to digest; using the cooking liquid keeps the leached minerals.
