An apricot is a small, round fruit that belongs to the Prunus genus, which also includes plums, cherries, and peaches. Apricots have a soft, velvety skin that can range in color from pale yellow to orange. The flesh of the fruit is usually sweet and juicy, with a slightly tart flavor.
They are often enjoyed fresh, but they can also be dried, canned, or used in various culinary dishes such as jams, preserves, desserts, and even savory dishes.
Apricots are a good source of vitamins like vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as dietary fiber and antioxidants.
