IN SEASON- Apricots are in season between October and March in Australia.
BENEFITS OF APRICOTS- Apricots are a powderhouse of nutrition in a tiny bundle! This amazing little fruit is rich in vitamin C and A (beta- carotine) and a good source of fibre. Due to their cobalt, copper and non- heme iron content, apricots are also good to support healthy blood production and prevent anemia. Apricots’ potassium, magnesium and calcium also make them great for bone health.
