Description

Apricot nectar is a sweet and aromatic liquid obtained from the squeezed pulp of the apricot, a fruit with a delicate and slightly acidic flavor. This nectar is frequently used in cooking recipes to add natural sweetness and a fruity touch to beverages, desserts, sauces, and marinades.

The apricot is native to Central Asia and was spread throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Today, its cultivation is common in temperate and warm regions, and it is highly valued in the cuisines of various countries.

Apricot nectar is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, which contribute to improving digestive health and strengthening the immune system. Furthermore, its mild flavor makes it an excellent natural sweetener for homemade preparations.

In Hispanic America, apricot nectar may also be found under similar names such as concentrated damson juice (where "damson" is a common synonym for apricot), damson juice, or simply damson nectar.
