Apricots in juice

Apricots in juice are fresh apricots that have been carefully preserved in their own natural juice or in a light syrup, thus maintaining their sweet flavor and juicy texture. This ingredient is ideal for incorporating into desserts, salads, sauces, or as an accompaniment in both sweet and savory dishes.

The apricot is a fruit native to Central Asia and has been cultivated for centuries in Mediterranean and Latin American regions, adapting to different climates and soils. In Latin America, apricots are highly valued for their sweet taste and versatility in the kitchen.

In terms of their properties, apricots in juice are a rich source of vitamin A, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, which contribute to visual and digestive health, as well as strengthening the immune system.

In different Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, apricots are also known by other names such as:

• Damasco (very common in Mexico, Chile, and Argentina)
• Chabacano (frequent in Mexico)
• Damascos (plural, also used in some countries)

Using apricots in juice in your recipes adds a natural touch of sweetness and juiciness, making preparation easier without the need to add additional sugar.
