What Is Natural Sun-Dried Apricot No: 3 (Large)? & The Supply Process
Natural Sun-Dried Apricot No: 3 (Large) (121-140 pcs/kg) is the large-medium calibre class of unsulphured, naturally dried Malatya apricot. While offering a size close to the upper grades, it is frequently preferred by herbalists and export packers due to the price advantage it provides per kilogram.
Fermented by the heat of the sun, the fruit takes on the characteristic bronze-dark brown tone, and its natural fructose caramelizes to give it a honey-like, intense aroma. It contains no preservatives or sulphur.
No: 3 sun-dried apricot is sieved and boxed at contracted facilities to maintain calibre consistency; it is packed into 10 kg / 12.5 kg cartons and delivered to wholesalers and exporters.
