 Apricots are full of vitamins and minerals and make a great addition to a healthful diet. Their rich orange colour due to beta-carotene, promotes healthy skin and mucous membranes, and helps to build a strong immune system. The significant potassium levels in apricots help supply a mineral that is critical to our health. Potassium regulates fluid balance in the body, increases bone mineral density, and supports the proper functioning of the heart and brain. The benefits of apricots also include a boost in skin health, liver protection, and gut health.
