Forbidden Fruit - Dehydrated Apricot Slices
Cultivated in Central Asia since antiquity, apricots have been highly sought after, and brought across the globe by the likes of Alexander the Great and General Lucullus. From Egyptian drinks to herbalism, apricots have myriad uses and are packed with phytochemicals such as beta-carotene, organic acids, and terpenes. Dehydrated apricots in particular have high nutritional values, especially in vitamin-A, vitamin-E, potassium, and iron.
