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.
