Apricots are small, golden-orange fruits with a slightly fuzzy skin and a sweet, tart flavor. They are closely related to peaches, plums, and cherries and are typically about the size of a plum. The flesh of an apricot is tender and juicy, with a delicate balance of sweetness and acidity. Apricots are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. They can be enjoyed fresh, dried, or used in a variety of culinary applications.
