Apricots are small, orange-colored fruits with a velvety skin and a sweet, tangy flavor. They belong to the same family as peaches, plums, and almonds. Apricots are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. They can be enjoyed fresh, dried, canned, or cooked into jams, desserts, and savory dishes.
