Organic Turkish Apricots

WELL; These apricots are amazing. Just recieved them April 2026. I was looking for organic. no sugar added and no preservatives; sun dried. These fit the whole package. Also; they are the cheapest sun dried on the market. They are 10.00 per lb. I bought 4 - 2lb bags because i usually eat some every day mixed and ligtly simmered for fruit compose. P.S For preserving it is rcommended to refrigerate

RAISED from 2 stars to 5. The latest half-dozen bags of apricots I've bought from Terrasoul have been the best I've ever tasted. I didn't know Turkish apricots could be *this* good. They were picked fully ripe, are dark in color, and sweet beyond belief. Good work, Terrasoul! *** Ordered a bag a couple of weeks ago. They were **fantastic** -- moist, very large, intensely sweet and complex flavors. Best Turkish apricots I've ever tasted. Next bag, received today: apricots are half the size, significantly drier, much less sweet, and not much flavor. Perhaps Terrasoul should have rejected this batch from their supplier. I'll still get other Terrasoul products that have been very consistent (Medjool dates, sesame seeds, flax seeds) but this is disappointing because the first bag of apricots were wonderful, and this bag just isn't. To salvage this bag, I placed the too-dry apricots in a little water, which improves them quite a bit.

These are pretty consistent in taste, texture, and freshness. I used to love the pretty sulphured apricots but slowly transitioned to these which are good but not as tasty as the orange oldies. However these are healthier and filled with vital minerals. I use them for health but also as a treat replacing deserts such as ice cream or pastries. They can be a bit addicting but in a good way. I try to limit 3-4 pieces twice a day which seems to be a nice compromise between healthy and decadence.

I’ve continued buying these because I appreciate that the only ingredient is organic apricots, even though they’re quite expensive. Unfortunately, the quality has been inconsistent. Every so often you’ll bite into one that’s noticeably gritty, which suggests the fruit hasn’t been properly cleaned and contains dirt. This last bag I purchased was especially gritty (maybe they fell on the dirt floor but were packaged anyway)? This is unacceptable. Since the apricots are so dark, there’s no way to check them beforehand—you only find out when you bite into them.

Organic apricots - healthy in many ways. Having purchased these apricots several times I can say they are deserving of a high rating. Besides being organic which is a benefit in itself they are moist, soft and taste just like the sulfured ones you normally may purchase. The lack of being sulfured is the reason they appear dark in color which may be a slight turnoff for some consumers but the absence of sulfur is a plus. The other healthy aspect of apricots is the high iron content which is very beneficial for anyone needing a boost in daily iron intake while enjoying a positive and tasty treat.

Short Review : I love Terrasoul products. Highly recommend. Long Review : I'm a fan of Terrasoul products (and I've tried many). At first, this particular 907g/2 lb. bag of sun-dried apricots seemed flawed. I know not to compare organic, unsulphured, unsweetened, no-color-added dried apricots to commercial. Commercial apricots are bright orange because of added dyes, chemicals (namely sulfur dioxide), added sugar, oils, etc. Organic dried fruit (like organic fresh fruit) may not be as aesthetically pleasing as conventionally grown and processed fruit, but many of us prefer organic; sans chemicals and dyes (or pesticides or preservatives). When dried without added chemicals, the natural sugars in apricots caramelize, resulting in a darker brown color. That said, the Terrasoul sun-dried apricots aren't very pretty, as-is. This bag contained apricots with an unusual granular substance that left sand-like grit in my teeth. The ingredients : "Organic Pitted Dried Apricots -- May Contain Some Pits (Prunus Armeniaca) Packaged in a facility that handles tree nuts". The granular bits may be ground pits, but I suspect the sand-like texture is another Terrasoul product. Terrasoul processes various refined and milled grains, protein powders, seed-blends, psyllium, flax, pea-protein, charcoal-activated powder, desiccated coconut, chia seed powder, oats, and flours (to name just a few). I know this grit isn't sugar (it's not sweet and doesn't appear to have much flavor in and of itself -- it's just a granular substance). The only way to describe it is sand-like..?! I have never rinsed dried fruits, vegetables, or berries pre-consumption in the past (and I'm not sure if others do), but this experience with gritty sun-dried apricots has changed that. Rinsing dried fruits (seems to be) a necessity now. Here's what Amazon's Ai "Rufus" has to say : Dried fruits are generally safe to consume without rinsing, but there are a few considerations: - Dirt/debris - There is a small chance of dirt, insect parts or other debris making it into dried fruit packages. A quick rinse can help remove any visible contaminants. - Soaking - Soaking very hard, dry fruits such as apricots or figs in water for 30 minutes before eating can help rehydrate them and make them easier to chew. I contacted Terrasoul customer support (very helpful). They also provide real-time online chat, email contact-us, and have an actual "live" human at customer service. I still recommend all of the other Terrasoul products, including their sun-dried apricots (but I suggest rinsing and soaking before consuming).

Great to grab and go. Good healthy pick me up.

These dried Apricots are absolutely deliciously sweet and sooooo wonderful. Addictive to say the least‼️❤️‼️
