Dried apricots are one of the healthiest snacks that you could possibly have. They are extremely high in antioxidants, and they’re packed with fiber. They are also a great source of vitamins C and E. They contain lutein and beta carotene, and they protect your eyes from damage. They also promote regularity. What’s more, they are extremely portable. You can stick some in a resealable bag, or you can make a yummy trail mix with apricots, nuts, chocolate, and other fruits that you like. Both kids and adults enjoy them. When you’re trying to find the brand you like most, you’re probably going to want the ones that stay plump and succulent, rather than ones that are dried-out and tough. Most parents also want the ones that don’t have any sugar added. Check out our favorites below.
In this easy meal, a fragrant curry simmers while the rice steam-cooks over top. Garnish with cilantro.
