dried apricots
Preserved orange stone-fruit
Dried apricots are apricots that have been dehydrated to preserve them, concentrating their sweetness and giving them a chewy texture.
They're eaten as snacks, added to baked goods, or used in savory dishes like tagines.
The bright orange color often indicates sulfur treatment; unsulfured versions are darker brown.
