Apricots contain a chunk of vitamin C; beta-carotene (vitamin A) is more when it is fully ripened, also a source of vitamin B complex. It contains minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt and bromine.
What’s in it for me?
About 100gms of apricot can supply 45% of the daily vitamin A requirement for the body. Apricots can be applied directly to facial skin to give a good skin tone. They also have beneficial effects in treating anaemia. Try choosing fully ripened fruits as they contain twice as much as vitamin A.
Natural benefits of Apricots
Builds healthy muscle and tissue
- Stimulates appetite
- Behaves as an astringent to the stomach
Dried apricot is good alternative but will only have a fraction of the vitamin C because the drying process destroys the vitamin C content. Try to buy dried fruits that are dark in colour because most commercial entities use sulphur dioxide to fix the colour. ‘Organic’ dried fruits are produced without sulphur; this causes the fruit to look very dark.
