Apricot
Fruit
Refrigerator
We know apricots fresh, as well as dried, canned or bottled. An apricot has a soft edible skin. Inside is a large stony stone-like stone that easily releases when ripe. The flesh is orange-yellow and smells delicious. Apricots are native to Greece and France, among other countries. The fruit contains a number of important minerals, such as potassium.

Preparation & storage
Storage
Apricots will keep for 1 to 3 days in a cool place. You can keep them in the fridge for about 5 days, but they will lose some flavour and fragrance.
Preparation
The skin of an apricot is edible. If you prefer to remove the skin, you can easily pull it off with a sharp knife.
Halve the fruit by cutting it around the stone and then twisting it off the stone. After that, you can cut fruit halves into wedges or pieces.
Storage times
Cool place: 1-3 days
Refrigerator: 5 days
