Dennick FruitSource’s apricot processed fruit ingredients are sourced from some of the world’s finest groves. The fruit itself has an interesting history.
Apricots have been grown in China for more than 4,000 years. This popular fruit now grows well in most temperate climates, with California producing about 90 percent of the American crop. A relative of the peach, apricots are very seasonal—most fresh apricots are sold in June and July.
Apricots are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. Among the health benefits offered by these nutrients found in our apricot processed fruit ingredients are a boost in immune system functioning, a reduction in the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and possibly even cancer.
To provide added nutritional value, apricot puree can be added to processed foods, beverages, yogurts, desserts, and other food products.
