Dried Apricots

Our organic dried apricots are harvested and pitted by hand before undergoing a carefully controlled drying process. Apricots naturally brown as they dry due to oxidation of their polyphenols. However, when treated with sulphur dioxide (SO₂), the fruit retains its bright yellow color and shelf life is extended.

This results in two distinct varieties:

  • Natural Brown Apricots – dried without SO₂, with a rich, caramelized flavor

  • Sulphured Yellow Apricots – treated with SO₂ to preserve a golden color and mild sweetness

Key Benefits

  • 100% organic and naturally sweet

  • Available in sulphured (yellow) or unsulphured (brown) forms

  • High in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants

  • Free from additives in natural brown variety

  • Suitable for snacks, bakery, and confectionery

Production

Once harvested and pitted by hand, apricots are either sun-dried naturally or treated with sulphur dioxide gas to inhibit the polyphenol oxidase enzyme, which causes browning.

  • In unsulphured apricots, the natural enzymatic reaction occurs, producing a rich brown color and deeper flavor.

  • In sulphured apricots, SO₂ prevents oxidation and maintains a bright yellow hue while also helping to extend shelf life.

Both processes preserve the fruit’s nutrients, while offering distinct flavors and appearances to suit different consumer preferences.

The result is a versatile, nutrient-rich dried apricot available in both natural and sulphured varieties, perfect for snacking, baking, and cooking.
