Apricots are sweet fruits that occur naturally mainly in East Asia. The oldest sources state that this fruit was cultivated in China 400 years before the birth of Christ. At that time, apricots were usually eaten fresh. Nevertheless, already in ancient times people began to dry them, which made it possible to enjoy their unique taste regardless of the season. Apricots came to the old continent in dried form and quickly conquered the hearts of lovers of oriental delicacies. Due to the growing popularity, this fruit began to be grown on a large scale in the countries of the Mediterranean. Dried apricots have a sweet taste and are orange in color.
