Nutritional Benefits of Dried Apricots

Dried fruits are a concentrated dose of all the apricot's valuable properties. Thanks to their high fibre content, they can help alleviate constipation issues. They also contain more of the yellow pigment - beta-carotene, which has strong antioxidant properties. It helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which is associated with cellular health and may contribute to healthy aging. It is also particularly valuable for pregnant women, as it supports the proper development of the child. It also has a beneficial effect on vision. Just three apricots a day can provide a significant amount of your daily beta-carotene intake!

Dried apricots are recommended for individuals who frequently consume meat products, as their alkalizing effect may help counteract acidity.

Thanks to their high content of iron and B vitamins, they may help reduce the risk of anaemia.
