What Is Natural Sun-Dried Apricot No: 2 (Extra)? & The Supply Process
Natural Sun-Dried Apricot No: 2 (Extra) (101-120 pcs/kg) is a natural, select product obtained by harvesting Malatya apricots ripened on the branch, without any chemical or sulphuring treatment, and drying them directly under the Malatya sun on clean tarpaulins and drying racks.
Fermented by the scorching heat of the sun, the fruit loses its yellow color and takes on the characteristic bronze-dark brown tone. During this process, the natural fructose inside the fruit caramelizes, giving the sun-dried apricot its distinctive, honey-like, molasses-like intense aroma. It contains no preservatives or sulphur, and is additive-free.
Selected from grower orchards within our supply network, this large-size Sun-Dried Apricot, free of pesticides and chemicals, is offered to wholesale buyers with its freshness and soft texture preserved year-round in contracted cold storage facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Natural Sun-Dried Apricot No: 2 (Extra)
Why is sun-dried apricot dark brown instead of yellow?
In yellow apricots, the color is fixed with sulphur. In sun-dried apricot, no preservative is used; the fruit oxidizes in the sun and darkens naturally, caramelizing to a honey-like consistency.
What are the storage conditions for sun-dried apricot?
Being unsulphured, it can be sensitive to heat and moisture. For wholesale purchases, storage in cold storage facilities below 10°C or in cool, dry and dark environments is recommended.
