DRIED APRICOT KANTAKI WITH SEEDS

As the name implies, dried apricots are a dried form of the apricot fruit, once they are dehydrated. Fresh apricots are great sources of nutrients, but once they are dehydrated, some other nutrients become more concentrated. As is true of most dried fruits, they provide more nutritional value by weight than fresh varieties. There is a significant amount of natural sugar in apricots, so the dried forms of these fruits don’t require additional sugars or preservatives, unlike some other dried fruits.
