A common fruit that is often dried and eaten as a snack is the apricot. Dried apricots are popular for their sweet, tangy flavor and chewy texture. They are frequently consumed on their own or added to trail mixes, baked goods, and salads. Dried apricots are not only convenient for snacking, as they have a long shelf life, but they also provide a good source of vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. Their concentrated sweetness makes them a favorite among those looking for a healthy, natural sweetener or energy-boosting snack.
