About this dried apricot
Courage — pitted apricots, dried whole-fruit rather than as a paste or a sweet. No sugar is added: the sweetness, and the sharper note behind it, are the fruit's own. Sulphur dioxide (E220) is used as a preservative, helping the fruit keep its bright amber-orange colour as it dries; for the same apricot dried without it, see our unsulphured version. Contains sulphites. Deep amber to burnt orange, soft rather than leathery, with a concentrated apricot flavour that holds real acidity against the sweetness.
It pairs naturally with nuts, seeds, honey, yoghurt or fresh cheese, and works equally well chopped into salads, baking or porridge. Being naturally high in fibre, it is dense and satisfying in small amounts.
A good everyday snack and a fixture on any holiday table — vegan, vegetarian, and lenten-friendly.
