What Is Commercial Yellow Apricot No: 5? & The Supply Process
Commercial Yellow Apricot No: 5 (161-180 pcs/kg) is the calibre known in the commercial apricot market as the "medium-small bite-size" grade, offering the highest level of cost/tonnage efficiency. The higher piece count per kilogram lowers the per-unit cost in portioned industrial production and mass catering distribution.
Its smaller size takes nothing away from its flavour; on the contrary, because it dries in the sun in less time, its aroma intensity and sugar concentration are quite high.
Akyel Kayısı supplies No: 5 commercial/bite-size apricot rapidly in high-tonnage bulk cartons, both to domestic food wholesalers and especially to export contracts in North Africa, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Yellow Apricot No: 5
Does No: 5 apricot taste different from the larger sizes?
The flavour and nutritional value are essentially the same. The only difference is the fruit's physical size. In fact, because the water content of smaller sizes evaporates faster, the sugar taste can be perceived as somewhat more intense.
