As the name implies, dried apricots are a dried form of the apricot fruit, once they are dehydrated. Fresh apricots are great sources of nutrients, but once they are dehydrated, some other nutrients become more concentrated. As is true of most dried fruits, they provide more nutritional value by weight than fresh varieties. There is a significant amount of natural sugar in apricots, so the dried forms of these fruits don’t require additional sugars or preservatives, unlike some other dried fruit
Drying out apricots also increases their shelf life, and makes them far more convenient to transport and eat on the go. Apricots are scientifically known as Prunus armeniaca, and the dried form can be found in markets and stores around the world and can be prepared at home.
The quality of dried turkish apricots will vary in different parts of the world, as standards for dried fruit can vary in different regions. For example, some dried turkish apricots will contain more water than others, which will mean lower antioxidant levels and higher vitamin C content.
