  1. I know apricots are good for you. It’s just that I don’t really like them unless they are in a dessert. Whereas I enjoy eating peaches or nectarines.

  2. I did not know these useful facts, about apricots but they are also good for bone health as well.
    It is too warm to produce good apricots in Auckland but my sister Janet had an apricot tree in Gisborne when she used to live there.
