Apricot
Apricots are extremely nutritious and have many health benefits, such as improved digestion and eye health.
Apricots (español: chabacano) are stone fruits also known as Armenian plums. Round and yellow, they look like a smaller version of a peach but share the tartness of purple plums. It’s best to enjoy apricots whole and unpeeled, as the skin boasts large amounts of fiber and nutrients, including significant amounts of beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
