Frequently Asked Questions

Why are these dried apricots bright orange?

They are treated with sulphites to help preserve their traditional orange colour and softer dried-fruit texture. Unsulphured apricots naturally become much darker during drying.

Do these apricots contain sulphites?

Yes. These are sulphured Turkish dried apricots and contain sulphites. Customers with sulphite sensitivity or allergy should avoid this product.

Are these apricots certified organic?

No organic certification is stated for this product. SpiceBloom also has a separate certified organic dried-apricot product for customers looking for the darker, unsulphured style.

What does Size 4/5 mean?

Size 4/5 is the stated commercial size grade for this batch of whole Turkish dried apricots. Individual fruit size can still vary naturally.

Are these dried apricots suitable for baking?

Yes. Their soft texture makes them easy to chop for scones, muffins, biscuits, cakes, cereal bars and fruit loaves.

Can Turkish apricots be used in savoury recipes?

Yes. Their sweetness works well in tagines, rice dishes, couscous, grain salads, sauces and recipes containing lamb or chicken.

How should dried apricots be stored?

Keep the pouch tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Always follow the best-before information printed on the pack.

Snail repellent?

Bought to spread round amaryllis lilies - apparently oats repel slugs/snails. We will see. I used to like oats, but as vac injured son became gluten sensitive, I no longer buy them for just me. Happy to share them with the snail population until they move house. meantime will hise the packet from son.
