Apricots

Apricot is a moderate, light, or strong orange to strong orange yellow colored edible fruit of the Prunus armeniaca – a deciduous Asian tree, which have alternate leaves and clusters of usually white flowers. The fleshy fruit encloses a hard nut surrounding a droplet-shaped, reddish-brown seed or pit. Its’ size ranges from small (about 25–30 g per fruit) to large (100–130 g).

Their flavor is almost musky, with a faint tartness that is more pronounced when the fruit is dried. Some people think of the flavor as being somewhere between a peach and a plum, fruits to which they’re closely related.
