Apricot

Apricot

By The FruitGuys on November 21, 2009

The apricot is a species of the genus Prunus, along with its stone fruit sisters, plum, peach, and cherry, and its cousin almond. Apricots found their way through history and geography, emigrating from Asia Minor. The word “apricot” is thought to derive from the Arabic “al-birquq.” They are a tantalizing fruit, admired for their beauty and sensual nature. Apricots are a good source of vitamins A and C. When ready to eat, they have the juiciness and smooth texture of a perfectly ripened peach but with a unique and indelible lightness.
