Turkish Apricots (organic) -500 g

Dried Turkish Apricots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, potassium, and fiber

(3 grams per 10 dried apricot halves).

When purchasing dried apricots, read the label. Preservatives, such as sulfites or sulfur- dioxide, are often used to maintain apricots orange color. Even though sun dried apricots have a brownish color, and might not seem as appealing, they are equally nutritious. It is not worth consuming extra sulfites just so the apricots look more orange.
