Enjoy the naturally sweet taste of dried apricots as a midday snack or as a tasty addition to your morning oatmeal or yogurt bowl. You can also chop them up and add them to baked goods like muffins or fruit cakes for an extra burst of flavor.
Apricots have been cultivated in Central Asia for a long time. Dried apricots were an important commodity on the Silk Road. They could be transported over huge distances due to their long shelf life. Dried apricots can be kept for half a year in the pantry.
