Apricot

Of Asian origin, apricots are seasonal but their dried form encapsulates most of their health benefits. Packed with calcium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin A, iron, and vitamin C, and the perfect accompaniment to something with carbs to fill out a snack, apricots have been shown to protect against illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease. Did you know- dried apricots can provide a higher concentration of nutrients per fruit when compared to the original undried form? What’s more, they are a decent source of beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, all of which are potent antioxidants that help fight free radicals in your body. Consume them daily to get rid of toxins naturally!
