Apricots


Apricots are full of dietary fiber and beta carotene, as well as supply a great source of vitamin A, C, magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, silicon, and potassium. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in apricots 

Apricots and other foods that are rich in carotenes may lower the risk of cancers in the larynx, esophagus, and lungs

Just five dried apricots give you 36 percent of the daily value for vitamin A

Apricots are rich in fiber and this helps to prevent constipation. The fruit also aids digestion
