Gold Velvet™ apricots are known as Inter-Specific Apricots, which delineates this fruit’s origin as part of the Apricot family, but pollinated by a plum. These apricots have a golden, velvety soft skin and a super sweet flavor with low levels of acidity. It is worth noting that eating apricots can be an easy way to replenish both water and electrolyte loss after exercise, as this fruit offers good amounts of water and potassium. And you know how important these two are for our well-being!
