Benefits

Apricots pack impressive amounts of vitamin A for eye health and beta-carotene for skin protection, all within their sun-kissed, velvety exterior. Round and yellow, they look like a smaller version of a peach but share the tartness of purple plums. They're a perfectly cute size and a great way to get your daily serving of fruit and veggies.
