Dried Apricots (Khubani)

Dried apricots are one of those foods that somehow manage to be both a satisfying sweet treat and a genuinely nutritious food at the same time. The natural sugars concentrate beautifully during drying to create that characteristic sweet tang that makes dried apricots so addictive once you start eating them.

At Noha Harvest we source dried apricots that are properly soft and moist with a clean, bright flavour. Not the overly sulphured orange variety that is artificially preserved, but naturally dried apricots with a more honest, slightly darker colour and a much more genuine flavour.

A small handful of dried apricots can make a meaningful difference to your daily iron and Vitamin A intake.
