Are Apricots Good for You? Experts Explain the Health Benefits of Apricots
“Apricots and other stone fruit are extremely delicious when they’re ripe, but their window of ripeness is small, similar to an avocado,” Contreras says. That’s why Cayne loves to shop for them at her local farmers’ market–because they’re closest to the day they were picked. This yields a juicy, delicious apricot.
And if you don’t live near a farmers’ market or your local farmers don’t grow them, you can still likely find them at your grocery store. “If you don’t have access to a prime supplier, like a farm or boutique produce market, you’ll almost always just want to pick apricots underripe and pull through the ripening process at home,” Contreras says. If you pick an under ripe apricot, he suggests storing it in a cardboard box or brown bag to quicken the ripening process.
