Turkish Apricot Large 5 Lb Bulk Bag

I was somewhat hesitant after reading some of the reviews that stated the bag of apricots had arrived open or made someone ill, but I'm pleasantly satisfied with my purchase for sure. The bag was totally sealed, the apricots were soft and flavorful, and they arrived quickly. I used these apricots to make baby food for my daughter and WHOA it yielded so much food! Plain apricot puree was one of my favorites as a kiddo but it's become a lot harder to find over the years, so I decided to make my own.To make the baby food, I ran hot water into a large bowl and soaked 1 lb of apricots overnight, stirring two or three times when I got up for MOTN feedings. I added the apricots to a steam basket and poured the soaking water into the pot, steamed the apricots for about 15-20 minutes, and then poured the 'cots and some of the soaking water into my Vitamix. Pureed for 25 seconds and voila! The absolute BEST apricot baby food I have ever tasted! My daughter is gonna have to fight me for it!

Small, but plump and delicious!!! The brand I usually buy was unavailable so gave these a shot. Glad I did!

These fruit are real beauties. The fruit are large and in very good condition with fresh looking color. They are whole, moist but not sticky with a lovely sweet flavor. I plan to use some for chocolate covered holiday fruit. It's difficult to find fruit large enough to make generous looking holiday treats so I will be ordering more and having fun adding chopped nuts and other candied fruit to decorate.

The apricots themselves are excellent. The only problem I had is with the packaging. They come in a bag with a zip lock reseal able bag but when the product was packaged it was heat sealed so close to the zip strip that it could not be opened without a scissors and even then the zip strip had to be cut to open the package so it was essentially useless. With such a large amount of the product in the bag it really needs some kind of working seal to maintain the freshness. I repackaged mine in my own working zip lock bags. Excellent value and taste even if you have to repackage after you open the bag.

A great survival food.

great taste for making apricot fried pies

Our Historical Society holds a pre-Easter pie sale every year as our major fundraiser. We taste tested the dried apricots we received from you, and they were a hit! All agreed that they were the finest and most flavorful apricots we have ever used. We have added you to our list of product suppliers for our sale.

I hesitated before ordering these, concerned that the quality wouldn't be good since these are so much less expensive per ounce than most others. They were perfect. If you keep the bag well sealed, they will maintain their quality even though this is a BIG bag of apricots! Highly recommend.

Buena calidad y excelente sabor
