What is your favorite way to eat apricots?


Today is National Apricot Day and what better way to spend your day than enjoy some!  Apricots are rich in nutrients that help protect eyesight from aging-related damage. They are also a great source of dietary fiber, which is great in supporting your digestive system and helps control your blood cholesterol levels. Here are 5 ways to enjoy apricots:


Breakfast parfaits are perfect to brighten up your morning. Start with 2 scoops of vanilla Greek yogurt, garnished fresh apricot slices with a hint of brown sugar.

If you are always thinking of new salad recipes, we’ve got a good one for you! Mix fresh or dried apricots to any fruit or vegetable salad of your choice to give it the sweetness it needs.

Do you enjoy the typical PB&J sandwich? Well, how about a PB&A! Make your own apricot preserves for the perfect spread on your favorite bread.

Add apricots to your sweet potato or squash dish for a perfect winter dinner!

Still thinking of breakfast? Top apricots to any waffle, French toast or oatmeal recipe and enjoy!
