Production & Sourcing
Diced Dried Apricots are crafted through a meticulous process that begins with the selection of ripe apricots. These apricots are carefully washed, pitted, and then diced into small, uniform pieces. The diced apricots are then subjected to a controlled drying process, often involving exposure to warm air or low-temperature dehydrators. This drying process removes the majority of the fruit’s moisture, concentrating its natural sugars and intensifying the apricot flavor.
