Dried apricots from the Malatya region of Turkey, where the Prunus armeniaca variety stands out with a dry matter content of 24 to 30% compared to about 20% for other origins. Fruits of Turkey offers two types: sulphured apricots, treated with sulphur dioxide (SO2) to fix colour and extend shelf life, with a maximum content of 2000 ppm for Europe and 2500 to 3000 ppm for the United States, and natural unsulphured apricots, sun-dried, light brown to dark brown in colour and sweeter. The fruits are delivered whole or diced in 5x5, 8x8 or 10x10 mm, the latter receiving 3 to 5% rice flour to prevent sticking. Bulk packaging (10 and 5 kg boxes) and retail options.
