Large, Dried Apricots—of the juicy, Suphany variety—ripen in the sun to a blush-orange hue, while also developing a rich, honey-like sweetness. Once harvested, they’re carefully dried in the summer sun by our trusted Turkish apricot supplier (and by Mother Nature, of course). What really makes these Dried Apricots Simply Amazing is the final step, which involves a gentle steaming. This unique method yields unbelievably Soft Apricots with a tender, chewy, almost velvety texture. Each bite of these reddish gems presents a floral, candy-like quality that is tempered by a pleasant tang. Because they are harvest-dependent, we’re offering Trader Joe’s Simply Amazing Soft Dried Apricots only for a limited time. When in season, you’ll find them on our shelves alongside our simply amazing assortment of dried fruits and nuts.
