Apricot

Characteristics:

The apricot has a juicy and firm flesh. The pleasant scent they give off and its tasty sweetness together make these fruits one of the favourites ones in summer.

Nutritional and health properties:

It stands out for its high content in fibre, which improves intestinal transit, and in provitamin A (beta-carotene), of antioxidant action. Its mineral content is not of secondary importance, since it is rich in elements such as potassium and, to a lesser degree, in magnesium and calcium.

Its consumption is recommended for reducing cardiovascular and degenerative risks.

This fruit is also rich in tannins, substances with astringents, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
