“Apricot” was cultivated for the first time in northeastern China and near the Russian border. The apricot tree belongs to the family of other stone fruits such as plums and cherries. Apricot has a rich history of more than 4000 years. Chinese travelers and traders carried apricot seeds along the Silk Road, which helped spread apricot cultivation to other parts of the world.
Currently, apricots are cultivated in different parts of the world with moderate climates, and the countries of Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan and the United States are known as the main producers of this fruit. Ripe apricots come in a variety of colors including yellow, orange and even red. When this fruit is ripe, it changes from green to yellow or orange, and its texture becomes softer and its taste is sweeter. Apricot kernel contains amygdalin, which may release cyanide, so it is necessary to pay attention to the consumption of apricot kernel. Apricot is especially important because of its sweet and mellow taste, as well as its nutritional value. This fruit is consumed fresh and dry and is used in a variety of culinary applications, including making jam, preserves, and desserts.
