🍑 What Are Fresh Apricots?

Apricots are small stone fruits closely related to peaches, nectarines and plums.

They have distinctive golden-orange skin, soft flesh and a stone in the centre. Their flavour ranges from gently tart when firm to beautifully sweet, juicy and aromatic as they ripen.

Fresh apricots are particularly special because their season is relatively short, making them a fruit worth enjoying while they’re at their best.
